CLASIC - Southern Great Plains Aerosol Evolution Study (SGPAES)

8 June 2007 - 7 July 2007

Lead Scientist: Don Collins

Observatory: SGP

The focus of the Southern Great Plains Aerosol Evolution Study (SGPAES) was to evaluate the transformation of an aerosol species over time by condensation/sorption reactions given ambient conditions in a rural location. Through research conducted at the SGP, understanding was gained of the effects of aerosol growth processes on size distribution, hygroscopic growth and aerosol extinction.
