OTHER COMMENTS:
No changes in instrument status since the last report. Yesterdays conditions after about 1100 EST, (0100 Z) were essentially clean maritime from a particle point of view. CCN @ 0.5% were around 80 cm-3 dropping as low as 20 cm-3 for around two hours around 0800 Z. Currently CCN are around 90 cm-3 and CN around 500 cm-3. THe size distribution shows the typical maritime modes at around 30 nm and 150 nm diam. and also a weak mode around 15 nm diam. Radon is around 28 mBeq m-3. Wind direction presently is around 180-190 so conditions are just on the edge of baseline.
