Abstract:
|
The dual column cloud condensation nuclei counter uses a vertically orientated temperature gradient within a ceramic cylinder to create a supersaturated environment. By varying temperature profiles within the column different supersaturations are achieved. Aerosol particles passing through the column either activate or remain unactivated. An optical particle counter at the base of the column counts the number of droplets resulting from the activation of the aerosols.
A constant pressure inlet maintained the instrument at a pressure close to 600 mBar. Column A was maintained at a supersaturation around 0.25% and column B was maintained at a supersaturation around 0.50%. Detailed information on each flight will be found in ICARTT header.

Purpose:
|
Data were collected in order to help understand the micro-physical properties of aerosol and its effect on cloud.
