GRW/AOS/M1 - Data processing problem
DataStreams:grwaosM1.a1
Description:
The AOS data was reprocessed for the AMF, SGP and NSA sites. There was an error in the 
processing of the corrections for the PSAP absorption signal such that a low pass filter was 
implemented for the scattering data used in these corrections.The difference between the 
corrected and previous data is < 0.05 Mm-1 (below the instrument detection limit) and 
should not have a significant effect on the previous data. Data will be reprocessed at a 
later time when more significant changes to the data processing are implemented.

Subject:
GRW/AOS/M1 - CPC undercounting
DataStreams:grwaosM1.a1
Description:
The CPC was undercounting by about 10-20 percent relative to the CCN. After cleaning the 
CPC and replacing the butanol, the signal increased to above that of the CCN.

Increase CPC signal so that it equals the CCN signal at the maximum SS value. The 
corrected signal will represent relative and not an absolute particle concentration.
Measurements:grwaosM1.a1:
  • Condensation nuclei concentration number(N_CPC_1)
