Instrument description
The NCSU RDMA was operated at a sheath-to-sample flow ratio of 5:1.5 L min−1. The RDMA was configured to scan from 5 to 55 nm. It was located into the temperature-controlled trailer adjacent to the NCSU Flux Tower to observe size distributions of the aerosols.The sample line was dried with three silica-gel driers in series, and then neutralized with X-ray neutralizer.
