AbstractThis RAPID project supports the participation of US scientists in the international HALO-south field campaign to measure clouds and aerosols over the Southern Ocean in austral spring. The HALO-south mission is a large collaborative project with partners in both Germany and New Zealand. The Southern Ocean is one of the cloudiest areas on Earth and is key for hemispheric constraints on Earth’s radiation budget and global cloud feedbacks. Currently, atmospheric models poorly represent both aerosols
