Notes
NMVOCs, HONO, HCN, CH3CN
U of Montana compact PTR-TOF-MS
Lu Hu
Instrument is current being built in Austria. Shipping rack will help meet test flight timing.
NH3
Aerodyne TILDAS
Ilana Pollack
Tentative plans for Ilana to come to RAF to view the inlet/winglet used on Twin Otter on Feb 15. Instrument training at Aerodyne Feb 22-24.
Fine-mode aerosol composition
HR-ToF-AMS
Delphine Farmer
Sonia Kreidenweis
New postdoc starting July 1. Moving dates to September would resolve this, and ensure AMS can fly in test flights.
Aerosol Absorption
U of Wyoming Custom Photoacoustic Absorption Spectrometer with Thermal Denuder
Shane Murphy
PAS instrument is committed both to this project and to another project chasing forest fires in mobile lab this summer – Thus September is better.
Aerosol extinction, scattering and absorption
U of Wyoming Aerodyne CAPSSSA
Shane Murphy
Cloud condensation nuclei number concentration
CSU DMT Cloud Condensation Nucleus (CCN) counter
Paul DeMott
Needs modification for operating at a constant inlet pressure.
Black carbon mass in individual particles
Single Particle Soot Photometer (SP2)
Delphine Farmer
Sonia Kreidenweis
Aerosol Inlet System
Solid Diffuser Aerosol Inlet (SDI)
RAF
Ultrafine particles number concentration and size distributions
We are going to have Ezra Levin (Research Scientist with Kreidenweis and DeMott) reach out directly to John Ortega to figure out how much effort is needed. Test flights could be used for John to train operator.
