23 Research data p5 (Meteorology: Sources of CD-ROMs)
SAM II Aerosol Data (no cost):
Contains Stratospheric Aerosol Measurement (SAM) II data collected
from October 1978 - January 1993, documentation, and read software.
The SAM II instrument, aboard the Earth-orbiting Nimbus-7
spacecraft, was designed to measure solar irradiance attenuated by
aerosol particles in the Arctic and Antarctic stratosphere. The
scientific objective of the SAM II experiment was to develop a
stratospheric aerosol database for the polar regions by measuring
and mapping vertical profiles of the atmospheric exti nction due to
aerosols. This database allows for studies of aerosol changes due
to seasonal and short-term meteorological variations, atmospheric
chemistry, cloud microphysics, and volcanic activity and other
perturbations.
