摘要

Atmospheric aerosol is a key component of the chemistry and climate of the Earth's atmosphere. Accurate measurement of the concentration of atmospheric particles as a function of their size is fundamental to investigations of particle microphysics, optical characteristics, and chemical processes. We describe the modification, calibration, and performance of two commercially available, Ultra-High Sensitivity Aerosol Spectrometers (UHSASs) as used on the NASA DC-8 aircraft during the Atmospheric Tomography Mission (ATom). To avoid sample flow issues related to pressure variations during aircraft altitude changes, we installed a laminar flow meter on each instrument to measure sample flow directly at the inlet as well as flow controllers to maintain constant volumetric sheath flows. In addition, we added a compact thermodenuder operating at 300 degrees C to the inlet line of one of the instruments. With these modifications, the instruments are capable of making accurate (ranging from 7% for D-p 0.07 mu m to 1% for D-p 0.13 mu m), precise (+/- 1.2 %), and continuous (1 Hz) measurements of size-resolved particle number concentration over the diameter range of 0.063-1.0 mu m at ambient pressures of 1000 to 225 hPa, while simultaneously providing information on particle volatility.
