AIRBORNE OBSERVATIONS OF RECENT NEW PARTICLE FORMATION OVER TWO URBAN AREAS IN THE U.S

Measurements of submicron particle size distributions (0.005-50 mu m) were conducted on-board the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) G-1 aircraft using a new Twin Scanning Electrical Mobility Sizer (TSEMS) and two optical particle counters. Twenty research flights were conducted during the summer of 19...

Description
Summary:Measurements of submicron particle size distributions (0.005-50 mu m) were conducted on-board the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) G-1 aircraft using a new Twin Scanning Electrical Mobility Sizer (TSEMS) and two optical particle counters. Twenty research flights were conducted during the summer of 1999 over Philadelphia, PA and 15 research flights were conducted during the summer of 2000 over Houston, TX. Measurements of photochemically active trace gasses were also made on-board the aircraft. The goals of the measurements included quantifying the differences between particle size distributions under urbaninfluenced and regional-background conditions, estimating particulate mass production rates within urban and power plant plumes, and examining the conditions under which recent nanoparticle (NP, D sub(p)
