Flow-induced errors in airborne in situ measurements of aerosols and clouds

Abstract. Aerosols and clouds affect atmospheric radiative processes and climate in many complex ways and still pose the largest uncertainty in current estimates of the Earth’s changing energy budget. Airborne in situ sensors such as the Cloud, Aerosol, and Precipitation Spectrometer (CAPS) or other optical spectrometers and optical array probes provide detailed information about the ...

Drops in a Cloud: An SBIR-funded spectrometer is at the forefront of global climate research

Weeks before the athletes took to the ice and snow at the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea, Dr. Duncan Axisa was in the mountains around PyeongChang, studying ice-forming particles. Later in the ...

Grimm is a partner of the Eurek4a campaign

What is the importance of clouds climate change? Since beginning of 2020, an international team of researcher is working on this question as part of the large-scale study EUREC4A. The effect of aerosols is also investigated on - with high-tech ...

Diffusion Aerosol Spectrometer

The new Micasensor model MS-2702M is precise and easy to use Diffusion Aerosol Spectrometer (DAS), capable for sizing aerosol particles from 3 to 10000 nm (nanometer) in diameter, measuring its concentration in the air and collecting particle size distribution spectra. It can be used for variety of applications, but is found to be the most efficient while checking the workplace air quality and ...
