Abstract

For a vertical atmospheric aerosol distribution measurement, a very compact and light particle sampling package is developed. This package includes a compact optical particle counter (Hy-OPC), a light and small condensation particle counter (Hy-CPC), sensors (GPS, wind velocity, temperature, humidity), and a communication and system control board. This package is attached to He balloon and the altitude is controlled by a winch. Using this system the vertical particle size distribution was measured. The test results showed that the ground base atmospheric particle measurement result may be a lot different from that high above the ground.
