Special thanks to Chris Geron (U.S. EPA) for providing a High-Vol Sampler, and Eric Apel (NCAR) for providing cansiters for VOC analysis.

Meteorological data is collected at the SPL. These data are described and can be downloded from the SPL web site. Meteorological data from the SPL is also available from the Western Regional Climate Center.

Analysis

Oganic chemistry analysis of High-Vol Samples with HPLC-TOF-MS, Marianne Glausius ( University of Aarhus) and Gannet Haller (DRI)
Single Particle Analysis with Ramen Spectrometer, Kelly Baustian (University of Colorado at Boulder)
Lynne Mazoleni will analyze the organic content of the cloud water samples
Brent Christner will analyze the biological components of the snow samples
Bob Bowers and Noah Frierer will analyze biological components and IN ability of filters
