Aerodynamic mean diameter (um) and dlogDp for each stage: These diameters are reported at the relative humidity of the sampled air stream. (These diameters are given for a flow rate of 23 lpm and are subject to change after calibration of the collection efficiency of each jet plate. This calibration is planned for the Fall of 1996.)

The data files are available two formats: netCDF and an ascii, csv (comma separated value) format that should load directly into most spreedsheets. The csv file contains header lines that explain that data layout.

Some data files from recent cruises may be password protected. To obtain a password, please contact Jim Johnson or Timothy Bates.
