Aitken Nuclei Measurements in the Lower Stratosphere.

Abstract

Aitken nuclei (AN) were measured during 18 flights between 6 km and 19 km over the U.S.A., Central and South America with the new Stratospheric Aitken Nuclei Detection System (SANDS). The instrument was designed by the staff of the GE laboratory in Pittsfield, MA, calibrated in the laboratory of GCCPR-UMR in Rolla and installed on the WB-57F aircraft. (Author)
