Photo of Photoacoustic Extinctiometer (PAX)

Photoacoustic Extinctiometer (PAX): This is a sensitive, high-resolution, fast-response instrument for measuring optical aerosol properties relevant for climate radiative forcing and carbon particle sensing. more information =>

 
Photo of Single Particle Soot Photometer (SP2)

Single Particle Soot Photometer (SP2): This is an ideal instrument for measuring black carbon, known as soot. It is the only probe in the world that directly measures the black carbon in individual aerosol particles. Its high sensitivity and fast response makes it the premier instrument for characterizing pollution sources and measuring black carbon in snow, ice or water. more information =>

 
Photo of Hot-Wire Liquid Water Sensor (LWC-100)

Hot-Wire Liquid Water Sensor (LWC-100): This tiny sensor measures liquid water content (LWC) from 0.05 to 3 g/m3 and can be easily mounted on manned or unmanned aircraft, cooling towers, spray rigs and many other applications where the precise measurement of LWC is needed. more information =>

 
Photo of Photo-Acoustic Soot Spectrometer, Triple-Wavelength, Airborne (PASS-3)

Photo-Acoustic Soot Spectrometer, Three Wavelength (PASS-3): The PASS-3 is a sensitive, high-resolution, fast-response instrument for measuring the absorption coefficient of aerosol particles. It uses three wavelengths (red, green, and blue) to enhance measurement capabilities. more information =>

 
Photo of ECC Ozonesonde

ECC Ozonesonde: The ECC Ozonesonde, originally developed by EN-SCI, is a sensitive, compact instrument that offers a cost-effective way to measure atmospheric ozone. more information =>

 
Photo of CFH Sonde

CFH sonde: The Cryogenic Frost Point Hygrometer (CFH) sonde accurately measures water vapor at elevations from the earth’s surface to the mid-stratosphere. The instrument has a significantly greater sensitivity to water vapor than standard radiosondes. more information =>
