Collectively, the AGES+ campaigns represent the largest air quality-focused research campaign to date, spanning coast-to-coast, and encompassing hyperlocal ground-based observations, a network of instrumented ground sites, several NOAA and NASA research aircraft, and space-based observations from NOAA JPSS and the recently launched NASA TEMPO geostationary satellite.
