AMS Performance at DC3-Test Some preliminary results Pedro Campuzano Jost, Douglas Day, Michael Lechner, Jose Luis Jimenez

Overview Instrument was in working order for all six flights. Data was acquired for >95% of flight time (the rest being filters and software mode switches). Real time data was exported for all six flights to the G-V data system. After some minor software fixes, starting with RF03 the stream was fully functional Topics Inlet characterization: Still loose ends, but basic performance seems acceptable UHSAS comparison Stratospheric/UT aerosol measurements in clean air and after deep convection: AMS detection limit Sampling of polluted air thru clouds: AMS time resolution Size and chemical characterization of organics: brief case study

Inlet A new secondary diffuser was build for improved sampling of larger particles. At the same time, small modifications were performed on the pressure controlled inlet (PCI) system to make it work all the way to ft The transmission of the PCI showed little changes in transmission over a wide range of inlet flows, being close to 100% for submicron aerosol To characterize the transmission of the inlet system up to the AMS, the following was investigated: Flow into the system under “free flow” conditions. Is the diffuser working? Is the pressure drop sufficient despite the filters to run the inlet? Comparison of concentrations and size distributions for free flow and “choked” flow thru rapid switches Comparison with calculated inlet transmissions Comparison with the UHSAS (RF02 and 03)

Aircraft Speed vs Inlet Velocity, “free flow” conditions RF01RF02RF03 RF06 RF05 RF04 Red: Scaled Airspeed Black: Cabin flow speed Green: Corrected inlet speed, free flow Blue: Scaled airspeed x 1.4

Aircraft Speed/Inlet Velocity vs Height, “free flow” conditions (actual ratios) RF01RF02RF03 RF06 RF05 RF04 Red Line: “Ideal ratio”. Bottom range: kft

Varying Inlet speeds (free, /2, /4) during RF05: Nitrate

Varying Inlet speeds (free, /2, /4) during RF05: Sulfate Only for low to midheights! Testing during RF06 for >40 kft showed the same (s.b.)

Speeding thru clouds on the way to COS (10 kft)…

Missed Approaches II: BJC Cloud base higher than COS, hence no sharp transitions as seen there. The “sulfate mystery spike” still shows up here, though

Speciated Mass Size Distributions

Things to do for DC3-test… CFD modeling of the inlet in collaboration with RAF (Dave Rogers) would be very helpful to understand the exact behavior at high altitude and under high pitch and roll angles (would be extremely useful for all aerosol instruments in the HIAPER cabin). Explore HR analysis and repeat UHSAS comparison according to Middlebrook et al, 2011 Take a closer look at the mass spectral signature of the organic aerosol measured in the stratosphere during RF06 Once available, explore correlations between AMS loadings with the other chemical data acquired during DC-3 Try to increase the data quality of the size distributions by developing an HR analysis procedure for them

Things to do before the next campaign (RHINO 2014?) Depending on funding integrate cryopump to reduce pre- flight pumping requirements and increase sensitivity. Automate filter sampling. Redesign inlet assembly for easier service Add flow meter to PCI bypass flow line Explore software options for remote control of the AMS Fly with a heated HIMIL and temperature monitor next time.
