NMVOCs, HONO, HCN, CH3CN |
U of Montana compact PTR-TOF-MS |
Lu Hu |
Instrument is current being built in Austria. Shipping rack will help meet test flight timing. |
NH3 |
Aerodyne TILDAS |
Ilana Pollack |
Tentative plans for Ilana to come to RAF to view the inlet/winglet used on Twin Otter on Feb 15. Instrument training at Aerodyne Feb 22-24. |
Fine-mode aerosol composition |
HR-ToF-AMS |
Delphine Farmer Sonia Kreidenweis |
New postdoc starting July 1. Moving dates to September would resolve this, and ensure AMS can fly in test flights. |
Aerosol Absorption |
U of Wyoming Custom Photoacoustic Absorption Spectrometer with Thermal Denuder |
Shane Murphy |
PAS instrument is committed both to this project and to another project chasing forest fires in mobile lab this summer – Thus September is better. |
Aerosol extinction, scattering and absorption |
U of Wyoming Aerodyne CAPSSSA |

Ultrafine particles number concentration and size distributions |
NCAR Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer Spectrometer (SMPS) |
John Ortega |
We are going to have Ezra Levin (Research Scientist with Kreidenweis and DeMott) reach out directly to John Ortega to figure out how much effort is needed. Test flights could be used for John to train operator. |
