Abstract

These data were collected during the Cloud, Aerosol, and Complex Terrain Interactions (CACTI; https://www.arm.gov/research/campaigns/amf2018cacti ) field campaign in the Sierras de Córdoba mountain range of north-central Argentina as part of ARM Aerial Facility (AAF) deployment. The ARM Aerial Facility Gulfstream-1 was operated from Las Higueras Airport (IATA: RCU, ICAO: SAOC), Río Cuarto, Córdoba, Argentina, for the Intensive Observation Period (IOP) from Nov. 1 through Dec. 15, 2018. The G-1 aircraft performed 22 research flights over the first ARM Mobile Facility (AMF1) location in the Sierras de Córdoba mountain range to measure atmospheric state and turbulence, cloud water content and droplet size distributions, aerosol precursor gases, aerosol chemical composition and size distributions.The current data set presents Best Estimate Aerosol Size Distribution: a merged aerosol size distribution composed of the data from 5 sensors; three aerosol spectrometers: Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS), Ultra-High Sensitivity Aerosol Spectrometer (UHSAS), and Passive Cavity Aerosol Spectrometer (PCASP); and two cloud probes: Cloud Aerosol Spectrometer (CAS) and Fast Cloud Droplet Probe (FCDP). The SMPS data were interpolated to 1 second from “native” time resolution of about 64 second to match all other probes.

HISCALE: Best Estimate Aerosol Size Distribution by airborne measurements

Dataset Mikhail, Pekour

The data were collected during the Holistic Interactions of Shallow Clouds, Aerosols, and Land-Ecosystems (HI-SCALE, http://www.arm.gov/campaigns/aaf2016hiscale) field campaign as part of ARM Aerial Facility (AAF) deployment. The ARM Aerial Facility Gulfstream-1 was deployed at Bartlesville, OK, for two intensive observation periods from April 23 through May 22 and from August 27 through September 25, 2016. The G-1 aircraft performed 38 (17+21) research flights over the ARM Southern Great Plains (SGP) Atmospheric Observatory to measure atmospheric turbulence, cloud water content and drop size distributions, aerosol precursor gases, aerosol chemical composition and size distributions.

black carbon mass loading, size distribution for CACTI - ground site

Dataset Sedlacek, Arthur

The Single-Particle Soot Photometer (SP2, Droplet Mea- surement Technologies) is an instrument that measures, in situ, the time-dependent scattering and incandescence signals produced by individual BC-containing particles as they travel through a continuous-wave laser beam. Any particle traversing the laser beam will scatter light, and the BC component of a BC-containing particle will absorb some of the laser energy until its temperature is raised to the point at which it incandesces (hereafter we adopt the standard terminology of the SP2 community and denote any substance determined by the SP2 to be BC as refractory black carbon (rBC)).
