Abstract

Aerodynamic size distributions were collected by the APS 3321 (TSI Inc.) in the guest instrument facility at ARM’s Southern Great Plains site, during the AGINSGP field campaign. The APS accelerates particle through an orifice and uses two overlapping laser beams to measure the time-of-flights for particles. The aerodynamic diameter controls how quickly a particle will accelerate, with larger particles accelerating more slowly due to their greater inertia. The APS measures particle size distributions from 0.542 to 19.81 µm. Size distributions are averaged to their 1 minute averages. Air was drawn into the GIF through custom aluminum stack inlets (6” inner diameter) attached vertically to the outer GIF wall and the GIF outside platform. A blower pulled air through the stacks at a velocity of 1 m/s. Aerosol instruments subsampled via wall ports, through either 3/8” or 1/4" copper lines, depending on sample flow of the instrument.

Fluorescent bioaerosol particle concentrations measured by the DU WIBS during the AGINSGP field experiment

Dataset Volkova, Alex

Real-time, immersion mode ambient fluorescent bioaerosol concentrations were measured at ARM’s Southern Great Plains (SGP) site during the AGINSGP field experiment using a Wideband Integrated Bioaerosol Sensor (DMT Inc.; WIBS-4A). The WIBS-4A is an optical particle counter that also measures single particle fluorescence in three channels, along with particle asymmetry. Particles are grouped into different types depending on which channels they fluoresce in. The instrument was located in the guest instrument facility (GIF) and measured fluorescent particle concentrations from April 7th to April 29th. Data presented here are the concentrations for each particle type, binned in 5 minute increments.Air wasmore »« less
Ice nucleating particle concentrations measured by the PNNL-CFDC during the AGINSGP field experiment

Dataset Kulkarni, Gourihar ; Steinke, Isabelle

Real-time, immersion mode ambient ice nucleating particle (INP) concentrations were measured at ARM’s Southern Great Plains (SGP) site during the AGINSGP field experiment using a continuous flow diffusion chamber (CFDC) from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). The PNNL-CFDC is an ice-thermal gradient diffusion chamber that optically detects the freezing of single aerosol particles (Kulkarni et al. 2020). The instrument was located in the guest instrument facility (GIF) and measured INP concentrations from April 8th to April 29th. Air was drawn into the GIF through custom aluminum stack inlets (6” inner diameter) attached vertically to the outer GIF wall and themore »« less
Ice nucleating particle concentrations measured by the CSU-CFDC during the AGINSGP field experiment

Dataset DeMott, Paul

Real-time, immersion mode ambient ice nucleating particle (INP) concentrations were measured at ARM’s Southern Great Plains (SGP) site during the AGINSGP field experiment using a continuous flow diffusion chamber (CFDC) from Colorado State University (CSU). The CSU-CFDC is an ice-thermal gradient diffusion chamber that optically detects the freezing of single aerosol particles (Rogers 1988; Rogers et al. 2001; and Eidhammer et al. 2010). The instrument was located in the guest instrument facility (GIF) and measured INP concentrations from April 8th to April 29th.

Particle size distributions from TRACER-UFI

Dataset Collins, Don ; Du, Xuanlin

Particle size distributions using a custom-built SMPS. The measurements were made at the AMF-1 site in La Porte, TX between July 15, 2022 and August 30, 2022. The SMPS alternated between sampling ambient air and that in the portable Captive Aerosol Growth and Evolution (CAGE) chamber. The distributions from those two sources are separated.
Particle size distributions from TRACER-MAP

Dataset Collins, Don ; Zhu, Zihan

Particle size distributions measured using a custom scanning mobility analyzer (SMPS) and a TSI, Inc. aerodynamic particle sizer (APS). The size distributions measured with the two instruments were merged during data inversion to produce a single distribution spanning a diameter range from approximately 19 nanometers to 15 micrometers. Size-dependent cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activity measured with a CCN counter operated in parallel to the condensation particle counter in the SMPS are reported separately. The measurements were made from the Baylor University/University of Houston Mobile Air Quality Laboratory (MAQL) between July 5 and August 30, 2022 during the TRACER-MAP project. Themore »« less
