The Campaign
The Aerosol Characterization for Polarimeter and Lidar (ACEPOL) was a field investigation aimed at enhancing multi-angle polarimeter and lidar measurements of aerosols and clouds. ACEPOL carried out a single deployment in fall 2017 across the western United States. The NASA ER-2 aircraft was equipped with remote-sensing instruments, including the Airborne Hyper Angular Rainbow Polarimeter (AirHARP), Cloud Physics Lidar (CPL), and High Spectral Resolution Lidar 2 (HSRL-2), to assess aerosol and cloud properties. ACEPOL was mainly funded by NASA's Aerosol-Clouds-Ecosystem (ACE) mission, with additional support from NASA's CALIPSO satellite mission and the Netherlands Institute for Space Research (SRON).
