| description: | The goals of the project are: to assess the correlation of the differences of the electrical and optical aerosol measurements with environmental and weather conditions; to improve the comparability of the data measured with different aerosol spectrometers; to assess a possibility of gaining additional information on aerosol particle properties and physical structure by analysing the measurement results of the spectrometers operated side-by-side in parallel; to introduce a regular fulfillment of the internet weather station database of Institute of Environmental Physics with aerosol distribution data and the pesentation via Internet. The outcome will be: the knowledge about the origin of the differences between the electrical and optical spectrometers, and possible use of that in aerosol research; the increase of the quality and trustfulness of the aerosol research performed at the University of Tartu; Popularisation of the advantages of the electrical aerosol measurement principle developed at TU in the aerosol research and in ambient air monitoring applications |
