ICARTT - New England Air Quality Study 2004
ICARTT is the International Consortium for Atmospheric Research on Transport and Transformation based at the NOAA-Aeronomy Laboratory.
During July/August 2004, a large scale field experiment aimed to study the emissions, chemical transformations and long-range transport of aerosol and ozone precursors from the northeast US urban corridor, over the North Atlantic, to Europe.
ICARTT takes advantage of the synergy from coordinated experiments carried out by numerous participants from North America and Europe. US funding comes from NASA (INTEX-NA) and NOAA (NEAQS-ITCT 2004).
In collaboration with european colleagues from the Platt group, IUP Heidelberg a Mini-DOAS instrument was deployed on top of the tower at EAPS, MIT (a link to our roof-cam will be added here), and one Dustrack (PM1.0), two Ecochem (PAH, SPAH), two SMPS systems (particle size distributions, temporary deployment) were operated. Plans exist to temporarily deploy one Raman-LIDAR system.
