Description

A distributed network of six ground-based aerosol measurement stations spanning elevational gradients in mountainous terrain to characterize spatiotemporal variability in atmospheric particles. Each station operates multiple instruments continuously for multi-year campaigns.

Typical Equipment

  • POPS instruments
  • CloudPuck CCN counters
  • TRAPS filter samplers
  • scaffolding
  • solar panels
  • weatherproof enclosures

Output Measurements

  • particle size distributions
  • number concentrations
  • CCN concentrations
  • INP concentrations
