[{"name":"oden-ao-2018-mart-aerosol-size-1","title":"Aerosol particle number size distribution data collected during the Arctic Ocean 2018 marine aerosol reference tank experiments","summary":"This dataset includes measurements of aerosol particle number size distribution from the marine aerosol reference tank (MART) experiments conducted during the Arctic Ocean 2018 expedition to the central Arctic Ocean in August and September 2018. The MART employed a plunging jet mechanism to generate sea spray aerosol particles.\r\n\r\nA series of 10 aerosol generation experiments were carried out using locally collected surface water from various locations in the Arctic, including the marginal ice zone, the North Pole, several open lead sites, and a melt pond on an ice floe.\r\n\r\nThe aerosol size distribution was measured with a scanning mobility particle sizer and an aerosol particle sizer during each MART experiment.","citations":"","comments":"Aerosol particle number size distributions were measured with a scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS model 3938, TSI Inc., 14.1\u2060\u200a\u2013\u200a\u2060736.5 nm dm) and an aerosol particle sizer (APS, model 3321, TSI Inc, 0.523\u2060\u200a\u2013\u200a\u206019.81 \u00b5m da). The size distributions from the SMPS and the APS were merged, with an assumed shape factor of 1 and particle density of 2.0 g\/cm\u00b3.\r\n\r\nThe marine aerosol reference tank experiments were carried out during the Arctic Ocean 2018 expedition on board the Swedish icebreaker Oden, which was made in collaboration between Sweden and the US National Science Foundation (NSF) and organized by the [Swedish Polar Research Secretariat](https:\/\/polarforskningsportalen.se\/en\/arctic\/expeditions\/arctic-ocean-2018).\r\n\r\nThe ship track with latitude and longitude information can be found in the [Navigation, meteorological and surface seawater data from the Arctic Ocean 2018 expedition](https:\/\/bolin.su.se\/data\/oden-ao-2018-navigation-1) data set.","category":"Atmosphere","subcategory":"Aerosols","keywords":"Aerosol physical properties; Aerosol size distribution; Sea spray aerosol; Marine aerosol reference tank; Arctic Ocean; AO2018; AO18; MOCCHA; Icebreaker Oden","scientist":"Jessica A.
