The Campaign
The Monterey Area Ship Track (MAST) experiment was a field investigation primarily led by the Office of Naval Research (ONR). MAST aimed to examine the effects of ship emissions on the microphysics and radiative properties of marine stratocumulus clouds. It involved one deployment off the coast of California in June 1994. Multiple aircraft, including NASA ER-2, conducted in situ and remote observations of aerosol and cloud properties from ship tracks. Additional shipborne and sonde measurements were also taken. MAST was funded through the ONR Accelerated Research Initiative, with NASA being a significant participant in the investigation.
