attribute	NC_GLOBAL	comment	String	Radon: The PMEL radon instrument is a "dual flow loop, two filtered radon detector". The general features of the instrument are described in Whittlestone and Zahorowski, Baseline radon detectors for shipboard use: Development and deployment in the First Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE1), J. Geophys. Res., 103, 16,743-16,751, 1998. The instrument response is due to radon gas, not radon daughters (all of the existing radon daughters are filtered out before entering the decay/counting tank). The instrument registers the total number of decay counts per 30 minute interval on a filter (wire screen) arising from the decay of radon in the tank. The volume of the decay/counting tank was 905 l and the sample flow rate into and out of the tank was typically 70 l/min. The response time of the radon instrument is limited to about 30 minutes by the radiological decay time constants of the radon daughters on the wire screen filter. Thus, the start time given in the data file is 15 minutes prior to the midpoint of the counting interval. The instrument was calibrated with a known radon source in Seattle before the cruise and a second calibration was performed after the instrument was shipped back to PMEL. Radon concentrations are given in mBq m-3.

attribute	NC_GLOBAL	summary	String	The North Atlantic Aerosols and Marine Ecosystems Study (NAAMES) is an interdisciplinary investigation resolving key processes controlling marine ecosystems and aerosols that are essential to our understanding of Earth system function and future change. NAAMES is a five year investigation to resolve key processes controlling ocean system function, their influences on atmospheric aerosols and clouds and their implications for climate. Observations obtained during four, targeted ship and aircraft measurement campaigns, combined with the continuous satellite and in situ ocean sensor records, will enable improved predictive capabilities of Earth system processes and will inform ocean management and assessment of ecosystem change.
