Cloud Condensation Nucleus Instrument for Airborne Measurement

Abstract

The long-term goal of our research is to develop techniques for measurement of atmospheric aerosols and cloud condensation nuclei to develop deep understanding of the processes that control cloud formation and of the role of aerosols and clouds in radiative forcing. Our objectives are to design, construct, implement, and apply state-of-the-art instrumentation for airborne measurement of aerosols and cloud condensation nuclei.
