Purpose

• To provide basic information about the
  meteorological conditions under which ASP
  campaigns are conducted
• To provide routine surface observations of
  selected aerosol properties in support of field
  campaigns

Deliverable

• Field data set published to online archive
• Rawinsonde profiles
• Consensus values of sodar and profiler winds and
  of RASS temperatures (if collected)
• Time series of surface meteorological and aerosol
  variables

Summary

• PNNL infrastructure support will provide some
  combination of meteorological and surface aerosol
  sampling for ASP field campaigns.
• This sampling will be provided at a primary and,
  if funding permits, a secondary site.
• A prototype of the infrastructure configuration
  was operated at Indiana, Pennsylvania as part of
  this past summers ACP field campaign.
