SAIL-Net CloudPuck CCN Data

Overview:

SAIL-Net is a DOE funded project in the East River Watershed near Crested Butte, Colorado with the goal of advancing our understanding of aerosol-cloud interactions in complex, mountainous regions. Through the deployment of a network of six low cost microphysics nodes in Fall 2021 in the same domain at the SAIL campaign, SAIL-Net provides data on aerosol size distributions, cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), and ice nucleations particles (INP). This network enables the investigation of small-scale variations in complex terrain.

This specific dataset provides the cleaned data recorded from the CloudPuck, an in house instrument made by Handix Scientific that counts CCN concentrations. The CloudPuck was deployed at the sites for the summer/fall of 2022 before winter conditions were too harsh to maintain the instrument. For more information on the the CloudPuck or how the raw data are processed, see the read me.

Abstract:

Purpose:

These data were collected to aid in the study of aerosol-cloud interactions and aerosol variability in complex terrain.

Data Usage:

These data contain concentrations of CCN that activate at 0.1%, 0.5%, and 1% supersaturations. The data can be used on its own or with the POPS data from the SAIL-Net sites to study the connection between CCN concentration and PM2.5.

Arm Sites:

guc

Content Time Range:

Begin: 2022-07-30 End: 2022-11-14

Data Type:

research data - ASR funded

Scientific Measurements(s):

Measurement name	Variables
number concentration of CCN that activate at 0.1% supersaturation	s_0.1 concentration
