Sable Island and Atmospheric Aerosol
In polluted regions aerosols are also responsible for damaging health and reducing visibility. Research on Sable Island to monitor the ... marine air to the site. Also, wind speed decreased, and the presence of large sea salt aerosols also decreased, as indicated by the drop in coarse mode aerosol scattering. Thanks to ...

My latest field work was a campaign in Hawaii. The purpose of the campaign was to use the Aerosol Sodium Detector (ASD), an instrument developed at RSMAS, to look at the size distribution and composition of sea salt aerosols in marine air. Six weeks in Hawaii, stationed right on the beach, rough life! Goal after earning your degree? Not really ...
