The U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility’s aerosol counting, composition, extinction, and sizing system (ACCESS) includes a base module (9400), a filter sampler (9401), an advanced mixing condensation particle counter (aMCPC, 9403), a miniaturized optical practical counter (MOPC, 9405), and a single-channel tricolor absorption photometer (STAP, 9406). This handbook focuses on the aMCPC, which measures the ultra-fast total aerosol particle number concentration at 180 ms response rate with a detection diameter (D₅₀ = 7 nm).
