The 2nd EUSAAR absorption photometer workshop will build on and complement the work of the 2007 workshop.
The focus will be on instrumental sensitivity to various chemical and physical particle compositions.
The main goal is to determine the magnitude of the sensitivities and to develop means to correct for apparent
absorption caused by scattering.
Workplan:
- Measuring loading-dependent response of absorption photometers to a) absorbing particles
(carbon black, kerosene soot), b) scattering particles (ammonium sulfate), c) ambient air;
- Test of existing correction schemes for Aethalometer, PSAP, and MAAP;
- Developing new correction methods for Aethalometer, PSAP, MAAP.
Time schedule:
| 22-26 June |
Not compulsory for workshop participants
- The instruments for the workshop are expected to arrive on June 22.
- Technical checks of instruments (leak test, etc…).
- Installing instruments, aerosol generators, and data acquisition.
