Measurement of OH, H2SO4, MSA, DMSO, DMSO2 on the NASA P-3B AircraftThis project involves the deployment of a variety of unique aircraft measurements for the PEM-Tropics program. These measurements were all to be accomplished on a near simultaneous basis using a two channel selected ion chemical ionization mass spectrometer instrument. The first year of this project consisted of four components; improve and perform additional testing of the OH, H2SO4, and MSA instrument which had only flown on one previous mission (ACE-I); develop and test the vacuum and electronic hardware and software which would allow two independent mass spectrometer systems to be operated from a single instrument (one vacuum/pumping system); construct an aircraft compatible DMSO/DMS02 ion source and calibration system; and operate the above system on the NASA P-3B during PEM-Tropics. The first two of the components were to be accomplished at NCAR. The third component was to be completed at Georgia Tech and the fourth was to be conducted by researchers from both institutions on the NASA P-3B.
