EPCAPE Quick-look Plots

Daily summary and comparison plots for the ARM and guest instruments deployed from February 15, 2023 to February 14, 2024 at Mt. Soledad and Scripps Pier as part of the Eastern Pacific Cloud Aerosol Precipitation Experiment (EPCAPE). The atmospheric observations include aerosol, cloud, thermodynamic, dynamic, and radiative properties organized to provide inter-instrument and inter-site comparisons for each sampling day. The plots are available at the following link: https://wordpress.cels.anl.gov/clouds/epcape-plots/

Cloud Condensation Nuclei and Printed Optical Particle Spectrometer Measurements at Mt. Soledad during EPCAPE 2023-24

These measurements are provided by a differential mobility analyzer operated as a scanning mobility particle sizer, a printed particle optical spectrometer (POPS), and a continuous flow diffusion cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) counter. The instruments sample from either a counterflow virtual impactor inlet or an isokinetic inlet. The measurements provide the mobility aerosol size distribution (30-360 nm), optical size distribution (150 - 6000 nm), size-resolved CCN distribution (30-360 nm) at 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0% supersaturation. CCN measurements are performed in denuded and undenuded configuration, where denuded refers to the removal of low molecular weight organic vapors. A detailed NetCDF header is included with the datafiles. Users of these measurements are encouraged to consult with the authors about appropriate interpretation before submitting for publication, offering coauthorship where appropriate.
