II.1.4) Short description
The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Manchester operate an aerosol mass spectrometer on the Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements (FAAM) BAe-146 research aircraft, to make highly accurate and quantitative measurements of atmospheric aerosol composition in real time. The current system is being upgraded as part of the facility's Midlife Upgrade (MLU) programme, to ensure that cutting-edge aerosol measurements can continue to be made on this facility until 2040. In addition to decommissioning old, obsolete components, we have purchased a mass spectrometer to improve on the mass spectrometer design to permit measurements of organic elemental composition in addition to mass concentrations. The equipment will be located at The University of Manchester when not deployed on the FAAM aircraft.
