November 2022
The Aerosol Cloud meTeorology Interactions oVer the western ATlantic Experiment (ACTIVATE) team hosted an open data workshop on November 7, 2022 for anyone interested in learning how to access and visualize airborne data. This workshop went over the progress of the ACTIVATE campaign to date, as well as diving into some of the measurement techniques and data archival processes. The workshop featured talks by all groups associated with the science team to discuss status and applications associated with instrument and modeling datasets. The webinar aimed to motivate the ongoing studies of aerosol-cloud interactions and the importance of airborne measurements. MaterialsOpen Data Workshop Agenda

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.

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.

October 2021
The ACTIVATE team hosted an open data workshop with over 70 participants over a two-day period from October 20-21, 2021. The purpose of this workshop was to introduce the ACTIVATE project to a larger, international, pool of atmospheric sciences and applications communities. The first day of the workshop covered how to access and utilize ACTIVATE data, a case study on ACTIVATE Research Flight 12 – a statistical survey flight, and ended with a discussion on using data. Day two began with the second case study on Research Flights 13 and 14 – both of which were process study flights – and ended with a continuation on the discussion from the previous day.
