Fluorescent bioaerosol particle concentrations measured by the DU WIBS during the AGINSGP field experiment
Abstract
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 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. Particles were dried using a silica diffusion dryer prior to analysis.
