Characterization of the Background Natural Aerosol in the West of Ireland
Abstract
This interim report describes (i) Aerosol particle number and size distributions for ambient air at Mace Head Atmospheric Research Station, Carna in the West of Ireland about 50 miles west of Galway City. (ii) Intercomparison of particle sizing instrumentation used by University College Galway and UMIST, Manchester. (iii) Calculations of optical extinction and lidar backscatter to extinction ratios at predominantly laser wavelengths from the visible to middle- IR - based on measured aerosol particle size distributions.
