Coastal cities offer a unique environment for studying aerosol-cloud interactions and the effects of urban emissions on aerosol and cloud properties. As part of the U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM)’s Eastern Pacific Cloud Aerosol Precipitation Experiment (EPCAPE), the Partitioning Thrust by Los Alamos National Laboratory (EPCAPE-PT-LANL) was conducted to complement the science goals of EPCAPE and add additional in-depth measurements of aerosols and clouds at Mt. Soledad. Our campaign focused on measuring the physical, optical, and chemical properties of aerosols, trace gases, and their interactions within marine stratocumulus clouds in La Jolla, California (see Figure 1).
