On March 6, 2026, the trans-Atlantic Aerosol and Ocean Science Expeditions (AEROSE) van left the Howard University Beltsville Campus (HUBC) for an incoming campaign. AEROSE are a series of campaigns conducted on the Ronald H. Brown NOAA ship. AEROSE mission focuses on measurements that characterize the impacts and evolution of aerosols from Africa as they transit the Atlantic Ocean. Measurements will serve the science community with key dataset of aerosol properties and facilitate improvement in satellite retrievals and climate models. HUBC plays a big role on these expeditions with training students and staff and organizing the scheme on data collection with instruments from our facility.
