Limonene 50ppb on Beta-Caryo SOA. 25.06.2008. Lights on at 10:11. 20 min of lights. AMS is measuring much more than the DMPS at this stage. 37ugm-3. 178ugm-3. Less than 2 hours of light number and mass passed their peaks.

Limonene 50ppb onBeta-Caryo SOA 25.06.2008
Less than 2 hours of lightnumber and mass passed their peaks
The PTRMS is showing that the beta-caryo has already been consumed.. This is much faster than what was suggested from the Nov campaign results. • O3 formation is a good indicator for beta-caryo consumption.. It really works
An update (2.5h of lights).. • Number and mass peaked • PTRMS: no more beta-caryo left • O3 is forming (6ppb now) • NO is coming down (5ppb now) and NO2 is increasing (22ppb now) • Waiting for the rest of the NO to be converted to NO2 before starting dilution and limonene injection
It appears like a second mode is coming in… no effect on the number though!
After 3 hours of light, stopped the exp and flushed most of the bag onto a filter • Injected Limonene and diluted the bag • Injected more NO2 to get to 25ppb NOx but ended up with more than needed (47ppb) due to incomplete fill of the bag (mass came down to target)!
Limonene 50ppb onto B-caryo SOA Mode and mass increased while cpc saw no nucleation…
AMS and DMPS are now in fairly good agreement while when measuring beta-caryo SOA alone the AMS was around a factor of 3 higher!! Could the DMPS be loosing too much beta-caryo mass because of volatility??
