The Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC) has released data for the Balloon Network for Stratospheric Aerosol Observations (BalNeO) field campaigns. BalNeO aimed to fill in gaps that are left by the limited vertical, horizonal, and temporal resolutions of satellite observations. It also worked to improve the coverage of in situ measurements of aerosol concentration that are usually focused on the northern hemisphere with fewer measurements over tropical regions.
The campaign brought together researchers from the United States, Brazil, France, and India to profile aerosol concentrations from the ground to the stratosphere. BalNeO observations come from various field campaigns, which provide insights on stratospheric aerosol variability and its impact on climate.
