    "description": "This dataset contains physical, optical, and chemical properties of atmospheric marine aerosols from two different cruises as part of the WACS project. The first cruise (WACS) was aboard NOAA R\/V Ronald H. Brown from 19 August to 28 August 2012. The second cruise (WACS-2) was aboard WHOI R\/V Knorr from 20 May to 06 June 2014.\nThe data from each cruise is divided into multiple csv datasets, summarized as follows:\nMain - Navigation, Meteorology, Scattering, and Absorption;\nChemistry - Aerosol species concentrations at varying particle diameters;\nAOD - Aerosol optical depth at varying wavelengths;\nDMS - Seawater Dimethyl sulfide;\nRadon - Radon Concentration;\nCCN - Cloud Condensation Nuclei;\nSize Distribution (APS) - Aerodynamic Particle Size Distribution;\nSize Distribution (DMPS) - Differential Mobility Particle Size Distribution;\nSize Distribution - Merged version of the APS and DMPS datasets",
