Months since calibration:

Wall loss experiment description:
Ammonium sulfate seed injected at dark chamber..

Wall loss rates calculation method:
Size-dependent beta was calculated for the characterization.

Frequency of particle loss experiments:

Wall loss correction description:
Size-dependent beta determined by the particle loss characterization was applied to chamber experiment data to derive particle wall loss corrected number and volume concentrations.
