NOAA Aerosols and Oceans Science Expeditions (AEROSE) National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Ship Ronald H. Brown.
The NOAA AERosols and Oceans Science Expeditions (AEROSE) is a series of intensive field experiments conducted aboard the U.S. A part of the NOAA PIRATA Notheast Extension (PNE) mission, the AEROSE campaigns have grown to become one of the most extensive collections of in situ measurements of the Saharan air layer (SAL) and associated African dust and smoke outflows over the tropical Atlantic Ocea

We feel their pain... our upcoming 2020 PNE/AEROSE campaign was even scheduled for a Cape Verde to Barbados cruise track.
During a Pandemic, Is Oceangoing Research Safe? - Eos With research cruises postponed, scientists are trying to get home safe, and others worry about the fate of their instruments left at sea.
The 2020 Aerosols and Ocean Science Expedition ( ), originally scheduled for May-June out of Cape Verde, will be postponed indefinitely due to . Stay tuned for more info when we have it.

Our “unusual” encounter with Barrel Man in the morning of 23 March during the 2019 NOAA PNE/AEROSE campaign!
NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown, an oceanographic research vessel, crossed paths in the Atlantic with French adventurer Jean-Jacques Savin and his orange wooden barrel early this morning. The ship's crew offered Savin some provisions and wished him well on his journey. Savin's barrel has no mechanical propulsion and is relying solely on wind and currents to drift from Spain to the Caribbean. He's covered more than 2,000 nautical miles since departing in December 2018 and this morning was nearly 1,000 NM from the closest point of land in the Caribbean islands. Photo: Danielle Power

The 12th campaign has begun in collaboration with the . We left Charleston, SC yesterday onboard the NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown and are steaming toward the first PNE buoy. We anticipate launching 4/day environmental satellite dedicated radiosondes beginning early next week.
tweeting more than FB-ing so if interested check out or follow me at . We are about to get back to the rock-and-roll with a forecast of gale force winds 30-40-kts an 13-20-ft swells as a new Atmospheric River rolls in on the heels of a cold front. Launching radiosondes and O3-sondes on the NOAA Ron Brown - yippee-ki-yay!
