- Abstract:
- Development of a compact, lightweight and relatively robust aerosol spectrometer is proposed for use in a variety of atmospheric particle investigations. This instrument will cover particle sizes in the range from 0.3 to 10 micrometers with 32 size channels and a weight of around 1kg (depending upon configuration). The low weight and compact size will make this device suitable for balloon-borne atmospheric measurements, and its relatively low cost will encourage deployment in riskier situations, such as close to the ocean surface. The reasonably high volume sampling rate of approximately 50ml s-l commends it to applications where high temporal resolution is required such as in particle flux studies.
