Report on intercomparisons of condensation nucleus counter measurements during the ACE-1 intensive study

摘要

This report summarizes findings from intercomparisons of aerosol particle concentrations measured by condensation nucleus counters (CNC's) on various platforms and ground-based stations during the Southern Hemisphere Marine Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE-1). Five CNC's on the NCAR C-130 are intercompared. The C-130 CNC's are then intercompared to ship ground-based measurements during periods of C-130 overflights.
