Aerosol characterization and snow chemistry at Terra Nova Bay

Entry ID: Aerosol_char_and_snow_chem_TNB

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: Antarctic aerosol was sampled at Terra Nova Bay using an inertial spectrometer
at high flow rate. This instrument can sample aerosol and deposit particles on
a membrane filter with size separation. The density of single particles and
average density vs. aerodynamic diameter has been evaluated. Chemical
composition of aerosol particles was determined by analyzing samples taken on
millipore filters ...
