CARES

Carbonaceous Aerosol and Radiative Effects Study (CARES) Ground Based Instruments

1 April 2010 - 15 July 2010

Lead Scientist: Daniel Cziczo

Observatory: OSC, MCC

New ARRA funded ARM instruments were deployed at specified ground sites during the Carbonaceous Aerosol and Radiative Effects Study (CARES). The use of CCNC, HTDMA, and f(RH)provided aerosol hygroscopicity and drop activation measurements for CARES. These new instruments and their future performance greatly benefited from testing and inter-comparison in a rigorous field setting.
