The U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility portable optical particle spectrometer (POPS) is a lightweight particle spectrometer designed for aerosol particle size distribution measurement. Several POPS of different versions have been procured to serve as routine instruments for the ARM Aerial Facility (AAF) unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and tethered balloon system (TBS) deployment since 2018. POPS measures the aerosol particle size distribution approximately between 0.13 and 3 μm.
