- Description
-
This object contains the corrected non-refractory submicron mass measurements collected by the high resolution time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS) deployed on Mt. Soledad in La Jolla, CA, and the aerosol chemical speciation monitor (ACSM) at Scripps Pier from 15 February 2023 to 14 February 2024. The supporting measurements of merged particle number distributions measured by an Aerodynamic Particle Sizer (APS), Scanning Electrical Mobility Spectrometer (SEMS), and Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS), black carbon measured by a Single Particle Soot Photometer (SP2) and sea salt, dust, non-sea-salt potassium, sulfate, and chloride estimated from elemental composition by X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysis of submicron filters at Mt. Soledad and Scripps Pier are also included. Additional analysis products in this object include clustered single particle measurements from the event-trigger mode of the AMS and at Mt. Soledad and Upwind Vertical Cloud Fraction (UCVF) at Scripps Pier. Users of these measurements are encouraged to consult with the authors about appropriate interpretation before submitting for publication, offering co-authorship where appropriate.
