A Marine Boundary Layer Sampling/Flight in Clear Air.

Abstract

The AFGL-instrumented MC-130E aircraft made several 8-min particle-sampling passes off the San Francisco coast on 10 July 1978 at levels from 100 to 1000 ft altitude. Spectrometers capable of recfording particles from 2 to 6400 micrometers were used, but in the existing cloudless conditions only particles between 2 and 30 micrometers were detected. These were recorded by the PMS axial scattering spectrometer probe.
