Announcement from ERLAP
Yearly OCEC intercomparison by ERLAP

We herewith announce the upcoming yearly upcoming OCEC laboratory intercomparison. Please send your application to ECAC latest until 31st of December. The samples will be shipped around end of January. Results will come by the end of March.

Announcement from OGTAC-CC
Call for ACTRIS Intercomparison campaign of chemical ionization mass spectrometry to measure condensable vapours.

University of Helsinki (ACTRIS Centre for Reactive Trace Gases In Situ Measurements – CiGas) is partnering up with TROPOS, and it is our pleasure to invite you to the first intercomparison workshop of chemical ionization mass spectrometers. We aim for improved quality of aerosol precursor gas measurements and clusters by the means of targeted experiments of highly oxygenated compounds and sulfuric acid. The intercomparison workshop will be organized at the twin chamber facility ACDC (Atmospheric Chemistry Department Chamber) in collaboration with the OrGanic Tracers and
Aerosol Constituents - Calibration Centre (OGTAC-CC), both at TROPOS, Leipzig, Germany in spring 2023 (February 27th – March 10th, 2023).
Announcement from WCCAP
Dear aerosol and ACTRIS- friends,

due to the still unclear situation when the ERIC will be signed, we at WCCAP decided to move all the calibrations and intercomparisons for ACTRIS related instruments to next year. Our new schedule for 2023 will be online soon.
Announcement from ACMCC
Instruments shall be shipped and have reached the TC Unit before the first day of the workshop. During the first 10 days, they are installed by the ACMCC personnel and then operated in ambient air for stabilization purposes. Calibrations are then mainly conducted during the second week and beginning of the third one. A series of technical and scientific meetings is also planned at the TC unit during the workshops, typically during a 3-day period during the second or third week of the workshop.

Quadrupole ACSM : 12.09 - 30.09.2022
Time-of-Flight ACSM : 17.10 - 04.11.2022
Announcement from CCC
Due to the covid related restrictions at University of Helsinki we had to postpone the planned CCC calibration-intercomparison workshop to next fall 2022.

Information:
To apply proceed to the "APPLICATION PROCEDURE" page and download the "APPLICATION FORM" and submit over the form.

Announcement from EMC2
EMC2: Opportunity to access EMC2 services through RADIATE Transnational Access (TA)

LABEC, the INFN accelerator laboratory hosting the EMC2 unit, is participating in a European research infrastructure of ion beam facilities, RADIATE (https://www.ionbeamcenters.eu/), that currently offers transnational access (TA) to the external-beam PIXE-PIGE facility for atmospheric aerosol sample analysis to external users.

Now, that the ACTRIS ERIC is in place, there will be some changes in the application procedure for the calibration and intercomparison workshops at CAIS-ECAC. There will be changes as well on the website.

For the ACTRIS National Facilities (NFs), which are already accepted in Step1a, CAIS-ECAC will take the active lead in the calibrations. We will contact you to convene your instruments actively for the intercomparisons at our units. We will tell you whether you have to send your instruments in the 1st or 2nd half of the year. For the determined timeframe, you will be able to choose one of the workshops presented in the table below.

For other ACTRIS users and/or external users: please use the contact form below. You can choose one of the workshops presented in the table. If you have further questions or other requests, please contact us via ecac@tropos.de.
