with a plot from RF01 showing that the RAF CNC (dk blue, concn) and the
CVI CNC (red, cnc1), while sampling on ambient air, agree within about 10%,
while the borrowed CNC (lt blue, concn1) reads higher much of the time.
One possibility is that concn1 is measuring smaller particles, although
all 3 CNCs are the same model (TSI 3760). Step changes are times when
the inlets were changed.
