  2. “Towards the perfect instrument” Hallequist et al, ACP, 2009 Thermal desorption aerosol GC/MS (TAG) (Williams et al, AS&T, 2006) + Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) (Jayne et al, AS&T, 2000) CalNex Data Analysis Workshop

  3. First TAG-AMS field deployment • 4 weeks’ operation • over 2 weeks of continuous measurements CalNex Data Analysis Workshop

  4. TAG-AMS design CalNex Data Analysis Workshop

  5. TAG-AMS CalNex design courtesy of Brent Williams • Measurement cycle (120 min): • 60 min AMS measurements (V-mode) + 60 min TAG sampling, 60 min TAG analysis CalNex Data Analysis Workshop

  6. CalNex Data Analysis Workshop CalNex AMS data sample overview
