| Uncertainty estimation method |
Particle uncertainty could be estimated with the use of an half-mini DMA and electrometer sampling in-tandem with the CPC. This has been done previously to show the size cut-off for the CPC. Uncertainty will be higher at particle concentrations greater than 100,000. |
