Compact Lightweight Aerosol Spectrometer Probe (CLASP) is a novel
instrument that has been developed at the University
of Leeds. In particular, CLASP has been designed for use as part of an
aerosol flux package, tether-sonde, and for use on near surface air-sea interface
buoys. It was also used in an aerosol/meteorological system in a helicopter
during the ASCOS campaign in summer 2008. There have been a number of
versions of the instrument as the development has continued. A technical
paper on CLASP has been published in the Journal for Atmospheric and
Oceanographic technology in November 2008 which describes the development
up to the date of publishing. In
summary the advantages of the CLASP are: ·
Robust, ·
Lightweight (less than 1 kg), ·
Compact, ·
Low Power, ·
High temporal resolution, ·
user selectable number and width of channels.
