ACSOE/MAGE (Atmospheric Chemistry Studies in the Oceanic Environment/Marine Aerosol and Gas Exchange) marine data set (1996-1998)
 
ACSOE was a 5-year UK NERC Thematic Research Programme investigating the chemistry of the lower atmosphere (0 - 12 km) over the oceans. The study aimed to bring about a clearer understanding of natural processes in the remote marine atmosphere, and how these processes are affected by atmospheric pollution originating from the continents. The marine component was only a small part of ACSOE which focused mainly on atmospheric processes through two of its three consortia: Oxidising Capacity of the Oceanic Atmosphere (OXICOA) and Aerosol Characterisation Experiment (ACE). The third consortia, Marine Aerosol and Gas Exchange (MAGE) was the only component of the ACSOE Project which included measurements in the marine environment. This consortia focused on the study of aspects of air-sea exchange relevant to atmospheric chemistry and aerosol production. It consisted of four cruises: the Eastern Atlantic Experiments EAE96 and EAE97 in June-July 1996 and in May 1997, the ASGAMAGE North Sea experiment in the Southern North Sea in October-November 1996, and the North Atlantic Experiment NAE in the North Eastern Atlantic in June-July 1998. ACSOE data management was a shared responsibility between the British Atmospheric Data Centre (BADC) and the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC). BODC handled the management of ship data as well as all other data collected in the water column during the ACSOE/MAGE cruises. BODC assisted in the onboard collection and subsequent working up of ship data, and assembled all marine data in BODC's relational database carrying out quality control and data processing as required. These data will be published on CD-ROM as the ACSOE/MAGE marine data set.
