Aerosol Rack

Compact, comprehensive aerosol measurements

The aerosol rack on board the FAAM aircraft will be upgraded. Outdated instrumentation will be removed and replaced with newer instruments better aligned with the atmospheric science community’s needs, the filter housing will be redesigned and semi-automatic filter capability will be added. The upgraded rack will be compatible with the DECADES-2 data management system, providing data visualisation for users. Overall experience will be improved with a new user interface. Rack contents will also be consolidated, reducing space requirements from two racks to one rack, freeing up space for other instrumentation on board the aircraft.
