MINOS (Mediterranean Intensive Oxidant Study)

Finokalia, Crete, July/Aug 2001

A field study in the Eastern Mediterranean, coordinated by the Atmospheric Chemistry Department of MPIC (J. Lelieveld). Our group performed ground-based measurements of aerosol particle number, size and composition.

Instruments:
Q-AMS, SPLAT, 2 Palas OPCs, 2 TSI CPCs

People involved:
