July 2022

The Aerosol Cloud meTeorology Interactions oVer the western ATlantic Experiment (ACTIVATE) team hosted a free open data workshop webinar series for anyone interested to learn how to use the airborne data and to promote dialogue about data analysis ideas and collaborative projects in the area of aerosol-cloud-meteorology interactions. This particular session trained interested attendees to use a Google Colaboratory (i.e., Google Colab) environment for data visualization and to examine atmospheric properties derived from both in situ and remote sensing products.

September 2022

The Aerosol Cloud meTeorology Interactions oVer the western ATlantic Experiment (ACTIVATE) team led an open data workshop webinar hosted by the National Association of Geoscience Teachers (NAGT) for anyone interested to learn how to access and visualize airborne data. This webinar went over the science motivation of ACTIVATE, as well as included activities to expose participants to Python. The webinar aimed to motivate the study of aerosol-cloud interactions and the importance of airborne measurements as well as use the Google Colaboratory (Google Colab) environment to examine atmospheric properties derived from both in situ and remote sensing products.
