 C-130 Aircraft Parameters
     UVB only responding infrequently; UVT Okay.
     DPT performance questionable (Significant RFI noise and lag behind DPB
     Oscillations in lyman-alpha 1 signal
     PCASP  Performing FINE.

  DMS, SO2, OCS, by GC-MS (**note** last flight until cal gas cylinders arrive. 
W/hawaii cylinder yet to be delivered at most 2 more flights.

  H2SO4 MSA, & OH, by API-MS - questionable

  NH3 vapor by LIF 

  NO by ozone chemilum.- probaly okay

  Tuned ultrafine CN counters, UM

  Radial DMA, CIT

  CFC's & NMHC cannister collection

  CCN Spectrometer

  Aerosol chemistry, by two-stage impactor and IC analysis

  Aerosol carbon collection by two-stage impactor

  HNO3 by nylon filters, external sampler 

  Single-particle analysis aerosol collection  

  CN, UCN, RCN by heated and ambient CN counters 

  Integrating nephelometer w/ backscat. shutter (w/o impactor again)

  Thermally-conditioned OPC 

  Aerosol light absorbtion by aethalometry

  Radial DMA, UH-may be repairable in flight

  Ozone by Teco UV

  Ozone eddy corr. by NO Chemilum

  H2O2 by peroxidase

  CO by IR absorption

  CO2 by IR

  Up- and Down-welling radiation by TDDR

  Aerosol lidar (Green only)

  MASP

 Balloon location receiver and PC (Siems will watch for signal near DISCO Transmitter successfully off loaded from ship.)
