Particles entering the system are neutralized (using a radioactive source) such that they have a Fuchs equilibrium charge distribution. The source is Kr-85, a beta emitter. Two sources are available, one with an activity of 74MBeq and the other 370MBeq. The University of Manchester has a mobile license and can operate it around the country. However, all users who require use of the SMPS must have their own site licence to house this source and have spare capacity on the licence. If this source is to be used away from the host institute, then users must have a mobile licence, with capacity for the source. Before any loan of the AMF SMPS is agreed, the users must supply proof of the licence and the spare capacity to the IS and a copy of the local rules for handling and storage of Radioactive substances for approval by University of Manchester local Radiological Protection Officer. The particles then enter a Differential Mobility Analyser (DMA) where the aerosol is classified according to electrical mobility, with only particles of a narrow range of mobility exiting through the output slit. This monodisperse distribution then goes to a Condensation Particle Counter which determines the particle concentration at that size.\r\n\r\nThe 3936 SMPS is widely used as the standard for measuring airborne particle size distributions. This system is also routinely used to make accurate nanoparticle size measurements of particles suspended in liquids. The National Institute of Standards and Ttechnology (NIST) uses a TSI DMA to size 60nm and 100 nm standard size reference materials. SMPS spectrometer sizing is a discreet technique in which number concentrations are measured directly without assuming the shape of the particle size distribution. The method is independent of the refractive index of the particle or fluid, and has a high degree of absolute sizing accuracy and measurement repeatability.\r\n" }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 18754, "uuid": "6efa8ffad1c8455880ad37fcb7998b15", "short_code": "acq", "title": "FAAM Flight B410 Acquisition", "abstract": "FAAM Flight B410 Acquisition" } }, { "ob_id": 9767, "platform": { "ob_id": 51, "uuid": "dda4596d5d374564acf8c79b7a119127", "short_code": "plat", "title": "FAAM BAe-146-301 Large Atmospheric Research Aircraft G-LUXE", "abstract": "FAAM is the result of a collaboration between the Met Office(TM) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and has been established as part of the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) to provide an aircraft measurement platform for use by all the UK atmospheric research community on campaigns throughout the world.

Particles entering the system are neutralized (using a radioactive source) such that they have a Fuchs equilibrium charge distribution. The source is Kr-85, a beta emitter. Two sources are available, one with an activity of 74MBeq and the other 370MBeq. The University of Manchester has a mobile license and can operate it around the country. However, all users who require use of the SMPS must have their own site licence to house this source and have spare capacity on the licence. If this source is to be used away from the host institute, then users must have a mobile licence, with capacity for the source. Before any loan of the AMF SMPS is agreed, the users must supply proof of the licence and the spare capacity to the IS and a copy of the local rules for handling and storage of Radioactive substances for approval by University of Manchester local Radiological Protection Officer. The particles then enter a Differential Mobility Analyser (DMA) where the aerosol is classified according to electrical mobility, with only particles of a narrow range of mobility exiting through the output slit. This monodisperse distribution then goes to a Condensation Particle Counter which determines the particle concentration at that size.\r\n\r\nThe 3936 SMPS is widely used as the standard for measuring airborne particle size distributions. This system is also routinely used to make accurate nanoparticle size measurements of particles suspended in liquids.

Particles entering the system are neutralized (using a radioactive source) such that they have a Fuchs equilibrium charge distribution. The source is Kr-85, a beta emitter. Two sources are available, one with an activity of 74MBeq and the other 370MBeq. The University of Manchester has a mobile license and can operate it around the country. However, all users who require use of the SMPS must have their own site licence to house this source and have spare capacity on the licence. If this source is to be used away from the host institute, then users must have a mobile licence, with capacity for the source. Before any loan of the AMF SMPS is agreed, the users must supply proof of the licence and the spare capacity to the IS and a copy of the local rules for handling and storage of Radioactive substances for approval by University of Manchester local Radiological Protection Officer. The particles then enter a Differential Mobility Analyser (DMA) where the aerosol is classified according to electrical mobility, with only particles of a narrow range of mobility exiting through the output slit. This monodisperse distribution then goes to a Condensation Particle Counter which determines the particle concentration at that size.\r\n\r\nThe 3936 SMPS is widely used as the standard for measuring airborne particle size distributions. This system is also routinely used to make accurate nanoparticle size measurements of particles suspended in liquids. The National Institute of Standards and Ttechnology (NIST) uses a TSI DMA to size 60nm and 100 nm standard size reference materials. SMPS spectrometer sizing is a discreet technique in which number concentrations are measured directly without assuming the shape of the particle size distribution. The method is independent of the refractive index of the particle or fluid, and has a high degree of absolute sizing accuracy and measurement repeatability.\r\n" }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 18766, "uuid": "307621df0edd445eb6a7db7d2dfa89d5", "short_code": "acq", "title": "FAAM Flight B412 Acquisition", "abstract": "FAAM Flight B412 Acquisition" } }, { "ob_id": 9800, "platform": { "ob_id": 51, "uuid": "dda4596d5d374564acf8c79b7a119127", "short_code": "plat", "title": "FAAM BAe-146-301 Large Atmospheric Research Aircraft G-LUXE", "abstract": "FAAM is the result of a collaboration between the Met Office(TM) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and has been established as part of the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) to provide an aircraft measurement platform for use by all the UK atmospheric research community on campaigns throughout the world.

Particles entering the system are neutralized (using a radioactive source) such that they have a Fuchs equilibrium charge distribution. The source is Kr-85, a beta emitter. Two sources are available, one with an activity of 74MBeq and the other 370MBeq. The University of Manchester has a mobile license and can operate it around the country. However, all users who require use of the SMPS must have their own site licence to house this source and have spare capacity on the licence. If this source is to be used away from the host institute, then users must have a mobile licence, with capacity for the source. Before any loan of the AMF SMPS is agreed, the users must supply proof of the licence and the spare capacity to the IS and a copy of the local rules for handling and storage of Radioactive substances for approval by University of Manchester local Radiological Protection Officer. The particles then enter a Differential Mobility Analyser (DMA) where the aerosol is classified according to electrical mobility, with only particles of a narrow range of mobility exiting through the output slit. This monodisperse distribution then goes to a Condensation Particle Counter which determines the particle concentration at that size.\r\n\r\nThe 3936 SMPS is widely used as the standard for measuring airborne particle size distributions. This system is also routinely used to make accurate nanoparticle size measurements of particles suspended in liquids. The National Institute of Standards and Ttechnology (NIST) uses a TSI DMA to size 60nm and 100 nm standard size reference materials. SMPS spectrometer sizing is a discreet technique in which number concentrations are measured directly without assuming the shape of the particle size distribution. The method is independent of the refractive index of the particle or fluid, and has a high degree of absolute sizing accuracy and measurement repeatability.\r\n" }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 18774, "uuid": "6c5b86cdbe2f40f2835d123f2bc888c0", "short_code": "acq", "title": "FAAM Flight B416 Acquisition", "abstract": "FAAM Flight B416 Acquisition" } }, { "ob_id": 9817, "platform": { "ob_id": 51, "uuid": "dda4596d5d374564acf8c79b7a119127", "short_code": "plat", "title": "FAAM BAe-146-301 Large Atmospheric Research Aircraft G-LUXE", "abstract": "FAAM is the result of a collaboration between the Met Office(TM) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and has been established as part of the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) to provide an aircraft measurement platform for use by all the UK atmospheric research community on campaigns throughout the world.

Particles entering the system are neutralized (using a radioactive source) such that they have a Fuchs equilibrium charge distribution. The source is Kr-85, a beta emitter. Two sources are available, one with an activity of 74MBeq and the other 370MBeq. The University of Manchester has a mobile license and can operate it around the country. However, all users who require use of the SMPS must have their own site licence to house this source and have spare capacity on the licence. If this source is to be used away from the host institute, then users must have a mobile licence, with capacity for the source. Before any loan of the AMF SMPS is agreed, the users must supply proof of the licence and the spare capacity to the IS and a copy of the local rules for handling and storage of Radioactive substances for approval by University of Manchester local Radiological Protection Officer. The particles then enter a Differential Mobility Analyser (DMA) where the aerosol is classified according to electrical mobility, with only particles of a narrow range of mobility exiting through the output slit. This monodisperse distribution then goes to a Condensation Particle Counter which determines the particle concentration at that size.\r\n\r\nThe 3936 SMPS is widely used as the standard for measuring airborne particle size distributions. This system is also routinely used to make accurate nanoparticle size measurements of particles suspended in liquids. The National Institute of Standards and Ttechnology (NIST) uses a TSI DMA to size 60nm and 100 nm standard size reference materials. SMPS spectrometer sizing is a discreet technique in which number concentrations are measured directly without assuming the shape of the particle size distribution. The method is independent of the refractive index of the particle or fluid, and has a high degree of absolute sizing accuracy and measurement repeatability.\r\n" }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 18778, "uuid": "244c168faa1647f18dd28db582923319", "short_code": "acq", "title": "FAAM Flight B419 Acquisition", "abstract": "FAAM Flight B419 Acquisition" } }, { "ob_id": 9830, "platform": { "ob_id": 51, "uuid": "dda4596d5d374564acf8c79b7a119127", "short_code": "plat", "title": "FAAM BAe-146-301 Large Atmospheric Research Aircraft G-LUXE", "abstract": "FAAM is the result of a collaboration between the Met Office(TM) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and has been established as part of the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) to provide an aircraft measurement platform for use by all the UK atmospheric research community on campaigns throughout the world.

Particles entering the system are neutralized (using a radioactive source) such that they have a Fuchs equilibrium charge distribution. The source is Kr-85, a beta emitter. Two sources are available, one with an activity of 74MBeq and the other 370MBeq. The University of Manchester has a mobile license and can operate it around the country. However, all users who require use of the SMPS must have their own site licence to house this source and have spare capacity on the licence. If this source is to be used away from the host institute, then users must have a mobile licence, with capacity for the source. Before any loan of the AMF SMPS is agreed, the users must supply proof of the licence and the spare capacity to the IS and a copy of the local rules for handling and storage of Radioactive substances for approval by University of Manchester local Radiological Protection Officer. The particles then enter a Differential Mobility Analyser (DMA) where the aerosol is classified according to electrical mobility, with only particles of a narrow range of mobility exiting through the output slit. This monodisperse distribution then goes to a Condensation Particle Counter which determines the particle concentration at that size.\r\n\r\nThe 3936 SMPS is widely used as the standard for measuring airborne particle size distributions. This system is also routinely used to make accurate nanoparticle size measurements of particles suspended in liquids. The National Institute of Standards and Ttechnology (NIST) uses a TSI DMA to size 60nm and 100 nm standard size reference materials. SMPS spectrometer sizing is a discreet technique in which number concentrations are measured directly without assuming the shape of the particle size distribution. The method is independent of the refractive index of the particle or fluid, and has a high degree of absolute sizing accuracy and measurement repeatability.\r\n" }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 18794, "uuid": "28a262351c574ae89f4d1384498676a9", "short_code": "acq", "title": "FAAM Flight B418 Acquisition", "abstract": "FAAM Flight B418 Acquisition" } }, { "ob_id": 9858, "platform": { "ob_id": 51, "uuid": "dda4596d5d374564acf8c79b7a119127", "short_code": "plat", "title": "FAAM BAe-146-301 Large Atmospheric Research Aircraft G-LUXE", "abstract": "FAAM is the result of a collaboration between the Met Office(TM) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and has been established as part of the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) to provide an aircraft measurement platform for use by all the UK atmospheric research community on campaigns throughout the world.

The CPI may be used in much higher particle concentrations, but under these conditions while particle spectra are reliable, absolute particle concentrations are not due to coincidence errors in the particle detection system.

The AMS couples size-resolved particle sampling and mass spectrometric techniques into a single real-time measurement system. The Aerodyne AMS has been deployed world-wide at fixed sites, and on mobile laboratory, ship and aircraft platforms. Over 100 instruments are in use in industrial, academic and government laboratories.\r\n\r\nScientifically, the instrument can deliver quantitative mass concentrations of the major non-refractory chemical species present in submicron particles (ammonium, nitrate, sulphate, organics and non-sea-salt chloride) in microgrammes per cubic metre. It is also capable of delivering these concentrations as a function of diameter as a dM/dlog(D) distribution. Further to this, information on the chemical nature of the organic fraction can be derived by inspecting the relative sizes of the peaks within the mass spectrum. In order to produce fully quality assured and meaningful results, the data must be processed offline or near-real-time. The Compact Time-of-Flight AMS (C-ToF-AMS) is a version that enables continuous acquisition of complete mass spectra (1-800 m/z) of all sampled particles at rates as fast as 80 kHz." }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 18838, "uuid": "83c573aaa73d4038b4ea92fef727f3bc", "short_code": "acq", "title": "FAAM Flight B173 Acquisition", "abstract": "FAAM Flight B173 Acquisition" } } ] }, { "ob_id": 18842, "uuid": "4b2b62aad64249f8ada75154f706fa73", "short_code": "acq", "title": "FAAM Flight B079 Acquisition", "abstract": "FAAM Flight B079 Acquisition", "imageDetails": [ 8 ], "mobilePlatformOperation": [ { "ob_id": 18843, "uuid": "1eee7d8fede94b608066526ebeea6c0b", "short_code": "mpop", "title": "FAAM BAE-146 flight B079", "abstract": "Flight details for FAAM BAE-146 aircraft flight number B079.

The AMS couples size-resolved particle sampling and mass spectrometric techniques into a single real-time measurement system. The Aerodyne AMS has been deployed world-wide at fixed sites, and on mobile laboratory, ship and aircraft platforms. Over 100 instruments are in use in industrial, academic and government laboratories.\r\n\r\nScientifically, the instrument can deliver quantitative mass concentrations of the major non-refractory chemical species present in submicron particles (ammonium, nitrate, sulphate, organics and non-sea-salt chloride) in microgrammes per cubic metre. It is also capable of delivering these concentrations as a function of diameter as a dM/dlog(D) distribution. Further to this, information on the chemical nature of the organic fraction can be derived by inspecting the relative sizes of the peaks within the mass spectrum. In order to produce fully quality assured and meaningful results, the data must be processed offline or near-real-time.

The CPI may be used in much higher particle concentrations, but under these conditions while particle spectra are reliable, absolute particle concentrations are not due to coincidence errors in the particle detection system.
