Additional Testbed Cases
Because MILAGRO focused on aerosol evolution in the absence of clouds, cases are needed that provide data on cloud-aerosol interactions. CHAPS/CLASIC, VOCALS, and ISDAC are recent campaigns supported by DOE's ASP and ARM programs that collected measurements both inside and outside of various types of clouds. CARES will obtain information on secondary organic aerosols and aerosol mixing state influenced by both anthropogenic and biogenic sources.
