attribute | NC_GLOBAL | comment | String | Unless otherwise noted, ambient aerosol particles were sampled at 18 m above sea level through a heated mast. The mast extended 5 m above and forward of the aerosol measurement container. The inlet was a rotating cone-shaped nozzle that was automatically positioned into the relative wind to maintain nominally isokinetic flow and minimize the loss of supermicrometer particles. Air entered the inlet through a 5 cm diameter hole, passed through a 7 degree expansion cone, and then into the 20 cm inner diameter sampling mast. The flow through the mast was 1 m3 min-1. The transmission efficiency of the inlet for particles with aerodynamic diameters less than 6.5 um (the largest size tested) is greater than 95% [Bates et al., 2002]. The bottom 1.5 m of the mast were heated to establish a stable reference relative humidity (RH) for the sample air of in the controlled range of 55 to 60 %RH. Twenty one 1.6 cm inner diameter stainless steel tubes extending into the heated portion of the mast were connected to downstream aerosol instrumentation with either conductive silicon tubing or stainless steel tubing for analysis of organic aerosol. A Droplet Measurement Technologies CCN Counter (DMT CCNC) was used to determine CCN concentrations of sub-1 um particles at supersaturations ranging from 0.1 to 0.62%. A multijet cascade impactor with a 50% aerodynamic cut-off diameter of 1.1 um was upstream of the CCNC. The sampled air was dried prior to reaching the CCNC. Details concerning the characteristics of the DMT CCN counter can be found in Roberts and Nenes [2005] and Lance et al. [2006]. The CCN counter was calibrated before and during the experiment as outlined by Lance et al. [2006]. The uncertainty associated with the CCN number concentration is estimated to be less than +/- 10% [Roberts and Nenes, 2005]. Uncertainty in the instrumental supersaturation is less than +/- 10% for the operating conditions of this experiment [Roberts and Nenes, 2005]. The data are in 10 second time intervals and include CCN concentration (in n/cm^3), CCN/CN ratio, and Supersaturation (in %). Lance, S., J. Medina, J.N. Smith, and A.
