OTHER COMMENTS:

Winds at surface from NNW. Winds aloft more westerly. Marine boundary layer at 900mb Not in baseline at station but expecting to be in baseline later today. Radon about 150 mBeq/m3. Cn about 700/cc and CCN at 0.5% about 200. Unimodal aerosol indicitative of aged urban continental with little marine or cloud influence. SO2 system under repair. Mass spec system down temp for optimization and testing.
