C-130 Aircraft Parameters
Oscillation in Lyman-Alpha 1 signal at low mixing ratios.
Top dewpoint sensor questionable at low dewpoints. (will be replaced)
LIDAR no IR channel, green okay
Data tapes for this flight - drive 0 failed halfway through flight and
had to start recording on dirve 1
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
(Teco slow ozone data is questionable)
Ozone eddy corr. by NO Chemilum
H2O2 by peroxidase
CO by IR absorption
CO2 by IR
Up- and Down-welling radiation by TDDR (both operating now)
Aerosol lidar (Green only)
MASP (Removed for remainder of Program)
Balloon location receiver and PC
