Atmospheric Chemistry Studies in the Oceanic Environment (ACSOE)
Data set list for ACSOE-MAGE
ACSOE-MAGE (Marine Aerosol and Gas Exchange) was the only component of ACSOE which included measurements in the marine environment. This group focused on the study of aspects of air-sea exchange relevant to atmospheric chemistry and aerosol production. The data collected during the ACSOE-MAGE project was collated and, where necessary, quality controlled and processed by BODC.
The MAGE component of the ACSOE project consisted of four cruises. (The Principle Scientific Officer (PSO) is responsible for directing the scientific work carried out during the cruise.)
- Challenger CH127 from 6 June to 5 July 1996 in the Eastern Atlantic (PSO — Dr. Lucinda Spokes, University of East Anglia, UK)
- Challenger CH129 from 16 October to 1 November 1996 in the Southern North Sea (PSO — Dr. Robert C. Upstill-Goddard, University of Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK)
- Challenger CH133 from 10 to 30 May 1997 in the Eastern Atlantic (PSO — Dr. Lucinda Spokes, University of East Anglia, UK)
- Discovery DI234 from 6 June to 9 July 1998 in the North Eastern Atlantic (PSO — Prof. Peter Liss, University of East Anglia, UK)
The table below lists the data sets collected at sea during for the ACSOE-MAGE cruises. The data are available on request. Please contact the BODC Enquiries Officer for further information.
