approved

Multi-wavelength on-line and off-line measurement of the optical properties (absorption and scattering) of atmospheric aerosols: injection of different aerosol species (soot, dust, salt, organic), modulation of the meteo-climatic conditions, on-line measurement by 3-lambda photoacoustics monitors (PAXs), OPS and SMPS, Aurora 4000 nephelometer, 7-wavelength CASS system; sampling on filters/impactors and off-line analyses by Multi Wavelength Absorbance Analyzer (MWAA), Broadband Light Analyzer of Complex Aerosol (BLAnCA) and two-lambda thermo-optical analysis.
