OPSS-workshop November 2021 in TROPOS

CAIS-ECAC
Published by WCCAP in Workshop · Monday 18 Oct 2021 · Read time 1:00
The workshop  will test the performance of different
optical spectrometers. Thereby, their applicability for atmospheric
atmospheric measurements will be assessed.

For this purpose, quality checks for sizing accuracy, sharpness and counting efficiencies will be performed
using a quality-purified master device with monodisperse
particles, if necessary in combination with tests for the
flow stability/variability.

In order to estimate the necessary size resolution or number of
channels, tests are carried out with different polydisperse samples.

Accepted instruments:
- TSI 3330
- Grimm 11-R/Sky-OPC
- MetOne GT-526S
- Handix POPS

Beyond that (but only with guest):
- Grimm 11-D
- PALAS Fidas Fly



World Calibration Centre for Aerosol Physics (WCCAP)
The WCCAP was founded in 2002 to serve as a competence center for in-situ physical and optical aerosol measurements as part of the world-wide GAW-program of the WMO. This WCCAP is world-wide unique for the quality assurance of physical and optical in-situ aerosol measurements and station audits to improve infrastructures.
