Interactive comment on “Characterization of the South Atlantic marine boundary layer aerosol using an Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer” by S. R. Zorn et al
Referee#2: General Comments This paper describes measurements made during the OOMPH campaign with a High Resolution Time of Flight Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS) from on board the Marion Dufresne research vessel in 2007. This is the first such characterization of the chemical composition of submicron aerosol in the marine boundary layer in this area of the world. The main results are th...
متن کاملMeasurement of Ambient Aerosol Composition During the PMTACS-NY 2001 Using an Aerosol Mass Spectrometer. Part I: Mass Concentrations
Semicontinuous ambient aerosol composition measurements performed during the PMTACS-NY Summer 2001 field campaign in Queens/New York with an aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS, developed by Aerodyne Research Inc.) are described. The measurements include 10 min averages of the nonrefractory sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, chloride, and organic mass concentrations in the particle size range of 50 to appr...
متن کاملChemical and microphysical characterization of ambient aerosols with the aerodyne aerosol mass spectrometer.
The application of mass spectrometric techniques to the real-time measurement and characterization of aerosols represents a significant advance in the field of atmospheric science. This review focuses on the aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS), an instrument designed and developed at Aerodyne Research, Inc. (ARI) that is the most widely used thermal vaporization AMS. The AMS uses aerodynamic lens i...
متن کاملAerosol quantification with the Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer: detection limits and ionizer background effects
Systematic laboratory experiments were performed to investigate quantification of various species with two versions of the Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer, a Quadrupole Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (Q-AMS) and a compact Time-of-Flight Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (c-ToFAMS). Here we present a new method to continuously determine the detection limits of the AMS analyzers during regular measurements...
متن کاملCharacterization of the South Atlantic marine boundary layer aerosol using an Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer
Measurements of the submicron fraction of the atmospheric aerosol in the marine boundary layer were performed from January to March 2007 (Southern Hemisphere summer) onboard the French research vessel Marion Dufresne in the Southern Atlantic and Indian Ocean (20 S–60 S, 70 W–60 E). We used an Aerodyne HighResolution-Time-of-Flight AMS to characterize the chemical composition and to measure spec...
