 C-130 Aircraft Parameters
     Lyman-Alpha 1 data still questionable at times
     DPT still questionable ~ recommend using DPB
     Both UV Radiometers now working

  DMS, SO2, OCS, by GC-MS  

  H2SO4 MSA, & OH, by API-MS (OH sensitivity degraded)

  NH3 vapor by LIF 

  NO by ozone chemilum.

  Tuned ultrafine CN counters, UM

  Radial DMA, CIT

  CFC's & NMHC cannister collection

  CCN Spectrometer (Questionable)

  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 

  Thermally-conditioned OPC 

  Aerosol light absorbtion by aethalometry

  Radial DMA, UH

  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 (Down OK, but upwelling not working)

  Aerosol lidar (Green only)

  MASP (Removed for remainder of Program)

 Balloon location receiver and PC
