The objectives of the workshop are to compare/check:
- instruments of the same type for any system errors,
- instruments of different types for their relative system response,
- the instruments using a "reference method",
- the data for “loading” and “scattering” correction of absorption photometers,
- the truncation error of nephelometers
Workshop schedule:
The instruments for the aethalometer-nephelometer intercomparison workshop are expected to arrive on March 5.
First week: checking of all instruments, flow calibration, sample spot size, ...., instrument comparison.
Second week: experiments to improve the “scattering correction”, investigation of the truncation error of nephelometers
Please note also the concurrent EUSAAR data base meeting which is organized, open to all EUSAAR partners attending the workshop.
The agenda of the database meeting is as follows:
Wednesday (14/03):
Intro/general information on the data base (evt and quality control)
Nasa/Amea 1001 format and metadata description
Thursday (15/03):
Open session - creation of Nasa/Ames 1001 data files
Participants are encouraged to to bring their own computer and dataset
Friday (16/03):
Continuation of open session, if necessary
