Description: | The ratio of CCN to CN started to noticeably decline around 20070901. After a site visit
on 20071023, the mentor found a problem with the instrument flows and diaphragm pump. The
instrument was return to Boulder, CO for repair. The diaphragm pump was repaired and the
flows re-calibrated. The instrument was returned to service 20071113.
The CCN data show qualitative changes in the number of droplets formed with changes in
supersaturation. Because the pump was not working properly and the flows were likely
incorrect, the numbers are not quantitative. |
