The Optical Properties of the Maritime Aerosol and their Correlation to the Electrical Conductivity of the Marine Atmosphere

LONG-TERM GOAL: The long term goal is to have a capability of simultaneously measuring aerosol properties, optical properties, and electrical properties from an aircraft in the marine boundary layer. This involves integration of CN counters, particle spectrometers, nephelometers, Gerdien condenser, and radon detector onto the CIRPAS Twin Otter airplane, along with a suitable data acquisition system.Award Number: N0001499AF0000
