Modification of Laminar Flow Ultrafine Condensation Particle Counters for the Enhanced Detection of 1 nm Condensation Nuclei

This paper describes simple modifications to thermally diffusive laminar flow ultrafine condensation particle counters (UCPCs) that allow detection of ∼1 nm condensation nuclei with much higher efficiencies than have been previously reported. These nondestructive modifications were applied to a commercial butanolbased UCPC (TSI 3025A) and to a diethylene glycol-based UCPC (UMN DEG-UCPC). Size a...

Water-based Condensation Particle Counters (WCPCs) - Design & Characterization Bibliography

Condensation particle counters (CPCs) have been used for decades as the most effective and reliable method to measure number concentration of ultrafine airborne particles. Setting up a measurement network with research-grade CPCs can be expensive. A compact water-based CPC (TSI model 3781 WCPC) designed for long-term monitoring is the newest addition to the CPC family. This WCPC features small ...

Comprehensive Measurement of Atmospheric Aerosols with a Wide Range Aerosol Spectrometer

A wide range aerosol spectrometer (WRAS) was used for comprehensive long term measurements of aerosol size distributions. The system combines the results of an optical aerosol spectrometer with the results of a Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS) to record essentially the full size range (5 nm – 32 μm) of atmospheric particles in 72 channels. Measurements were carried out over one year (200...

Referee report LOAC: a small aerosol optical counter/sizer for ground- based and balloon measurements of the size distribution and nature of atmospheric particles: 1. Principle of measurements and instrument evaluation

 L. 4-5 p.9995: To be precise, in [Deshler et al., 2003, cited in the paper], the authors mention the value of 150 nm as smallest particle size measured by optical particle counters (OPC) at Laramie. However, these authors also measure condensation nuclei (radius ≤ 0.01 μm) by growing particle with sizes down to 0.01 μm in the sample stream.  L. 5-6 p.9995: “sensitive to nature of the particl...

The Conference on Optical Characterization of Atmospheric Aerosols Miniature, low-cost optical particle counters

A range of miniature, low-cost optical particle counters for characterizing atmospheric particles has been developed. They are intended for use with disposable balloon-borne radiosondes, dropsondes or in dense ground-based sensor networks. Versions exist that are suitable for determining the size distributions and number concentrations of cloud particles or atmospheric aerosols such as mineral ...
