Final Report for Instrumentation for Measurement of Aerosol Differential Hygroscopic Growth Rates

Abstract

This DURIP equipment grant is in support of our ongoing grant exploring the interactions of marine aerosols with clouds and the relationship between aerosol size and composition, and aerosol hygroscopicity and cloud condensation nuclei activity (Award # N00014-97-1-0132). Hence, these long-term goals of the "parent grant" are also those of this grant. However, the DURIP itself is more sharply focused on the fabrication of an instrument to address some of these long term goals, namely, obtaining reliable measurements of both super-micron aerosol particles and their hygroscopicity.
