SPACCS 2008 Storm Peak Aerosol and Cloud Characterization Study Storm Peak Laboratory, Steamboat Springs, CO Study: March 24 – April 14, 2008 Scientific Questions: –What is the composition of aerosols at this site? Organic composition Biological particles –What are the sources of the aerosols at this site? –Do these particles act as CCN or IN? –What organics and biological components are observed in the clouds? Snow? –Can observations be used to parameterize cloud- aerosol models? How important are biological particles to impacting cloud characteristics? BEACHON, NSF Biogenic SOA Workshop, DRI
