The Campaign

The WB-57 Aerosol Mission (WAM) was a NASA field campaign focused on analyzing the chemical makeup of aerosols in the upper atmosphere. WAM had a single deployment based at Ellington Field in Houston, Texas, during the spring of 1998. The NASA WB-57 aircraft was fitted with multiple in situ sensors, including the Particle Analysis by Laser Mass Spectrometer (PALMS), the Multiple-Angle Aerosol Spectrometer Probe (MASP), and the JPL Laser Hygrometer (JPL), to gather data on aerosol characteristics, chemical composition, and meteorological conditions. Additionally, radiosonde measurements were collected during the campaign.
