Reduced Data from Calspan's Participation in the CEWCOM-78 Field Experiment off the Coast of Southern California during May 1978.

Abstract

For the past six years under sponsorship of the Naval Air Systems Command (NASC), Calspan Corporation in cooperation with the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), and the Naval Avionics Center (NAC), has been conducting an investigation of the evolutionary processes and physical properties of marine fog and marine boundary-layer aerosols. During the first four years, attention was focused on determination of the formation mechanisms and physical and chemical characteristics of marine fogs occurring off the coasts of California and Nova Scotia. Last year the scope of Calspan's effort was expanded to include investigation of evolutionary processes which control compositional and physical characteristics of marine boundary layer aerosols. Results of these efforts are summarized in References 1-9. (Author)
