Multi-Platform Goals of ICARTT

• Credibility of measurements
• What is critical?
• Can we trust it?
• How can we test it?

• Comparisons during ICARTT
• Aircraft to aircraft
• Aircraft to ground
• Aircraft to ship
• Aircraft to Satellite
• Ship to Satellite

Your not doing as well as you think (hope)?

Aerosol Properties and Radiative Effects
Aerosol Characterization
Characterize the chemical, physical and optical
properties of the aerosol particles from North
America as they move out over the western North
Atlantic and observe how they change.
