Surface aerosols at the Barrow GMCC (Geophysical Monitoring for Climatic Change) observatory: data from 1976 through 1985. Data report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6530518
The Geophysical Monitoring for Climatic Change (GMCC) program under The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has been archiving continuous background aerosol data taken at Pt. Barrow, Alaska, since 1976. The station, near Barrow village, Alaska, is operating a four-wavelength nephelometer, a General Electric automatic condensation nucleus (CN) counter, and a Pollak CN counter. The nephelometer and automatic CN counter take continuous measurements of aerosols, and the Pollak counter is used as a standard for comparison with the continuous CN counter. The data from these instruments give a good representation of the background aerosol climatology at Pt. Barrow and also define possible local contamination periods.
