This page is a repository of information for planning the 2nd AMS Data Analysis Clinic Meeting in Boulder. A shorcut to this page is http://tinyurl.com/AMSClinic2/
IMPORTANT: Please RSVP (names, affiliations, snow day info, etc.) on this (open) google doc so we can plan food and schedule accordingly
Contents
General Information and Location
The people who should attend this clinic are those who are directly doing (or are VERY involved in directly supervising) AMS data analysis of field of lab data. The clinic will be much less useful for PIs who are not directly involved in data analysis, or for people who are just starting to learn about the AMS but haven't done serious data analysis yet.
The dates will be Mon Feb 22 to Thu Feb 25. We'll start Mon @ 9 am, so people should fly in the evening before (Doug and Manjula promised to fly in the night before too). We plan to end on Thu @ 5 pm, and we will organize skiing, snowshoeing and other activities on Friday for people who can stay an extra day, so please plan your flights accordingly. As planned, this is "out of phase" with the AMS Users Meeting and the heavy Fall meeting season (AAAR, EAC, AMS Users Meeting, AGU...).
There is no registration fee, but please let us know if you are coming to plan food, coffee, tables, power, internet, etc.
Locations
- Monday 22 - Thursday 25 we will be meeting in the CU rec center here
- Thursday the 25th will continue in room E1B20 in the CIRES building if meeting time runs past 5pm. here
More information will be posted in this Wiki as it becomes available.
Tentative Program
The structure of the 2nd Clinic is 4 days, not just focusing on high-resolution, but rather on:
- day 1: UMR issues, SQ, CE, RIE, spectra comparisons...
- day 2: PMF
- days 3 & 4: HR issues, elemental analysis, HR-PMF + errors etc.
The content will be determined by the interests of the participants, and the schedule can be adapted as needed.
Subtopics to be discussed (pls add or let us know of suggestions):
Day 1
- Go over program and topics to discuss, new things etc. (Jose) -- 10 min total
- Update on CE for field data (Ann + Roya 10 min. prez, open discussion) -- 2 hrs total
- Update on comparisons of spectra from different AMSs (Jose will lead, which samples or secret?) -- 1 hr total
- Demonstration of new panel to create files for the UMR and HR spectra data bases (Donna)
- Discuss comparison of mini vs Q vs TOFs spectra for the same species (Leah Williams 15 min)
- Detection of slow evaporating species (Dara on Pb paper -- 15 min, Taehyoung on K -- 15 min, Lea H on Finokalia -- 15 min) -- 2 hr total
- Discussion of automated tool to look at slow evaporating signal
- Qi to discuss Org PToF distributions; removing low signal m/zs

Day 2 - PMF
- Updates on PET (Ingrid -- 10 min)
- General error discussion, where do they come from, how they are calculated in SQ (Ingrid + Donna)
- Understanding downweighting and how to do it
- Sally or Manjula: what they do for downweighting and diagnostics to use for low signal, constant composition airmasses; see variability.
- Cases in which errors are too small, Q too high (James Allan)
- Demo of how to choose a solution (Ingrid et al., MCMA-2003) -- total 2 hrs
- PMF examples from others for discussion
- Discussion of Finokalia PMF as a difficult case for very aged OOA (Lea) (see Hildebrandt et al., ACPD 2010)

- Donna will release a tool to do this ratio automatically for each m/z. Users will run it in their experiments, and we will discuss how it looks.
- Breakout for light scattering (Donna)
- hr after lunch is open mike
- Day 5 Play in Colorado (?)
- For those wishing to extend their trip to ski, snowshoe, or enjoy some outdoor activities, some CU folks can help plan something fun.
Lodging
- We have reserved a block of 20 rooms for Sunday February 21, 2010 through Friday February 26, 2010. At the Millenium hotel in Boulder. (Address is 1345 Twenty-Eighth Street) Boulder, CO 80302).
- The group rate for a double bedded room is $109.00 per day.
- Reservations can be made by calling 303.998.2480 or 1.800.545.6285 and refer to the AMS Users meeting or confirmation code 1002UNIVCU
- Reservations can also be made online here and receive the same group rate.
- The group rate is offered 3 days prior and 3 days after the room block that is reserved until the hotel reaches an occupancy of 80% so if you plan on staying after the clinic has finished making an early reservation may be beneficial.
Snow Day Information
We're working on some significantly cheaper group rates, but we'll need to know numbers first, so please complete your RSVP soon! Otherwise the standard rates apply and are below.
We'll be headed up to Eldora. They have alpine (skiing, snowboarding), nordic skiing and snowshoeing - and it's only a quick bus ride away...
- Transportation is via the N bus, which leaves the downtown Boulder bus station (Walnut & 14th) at 8:10am and 10:10am. Mike Q will meet folks at 7:45am in the Millenium lobby to walk up there on the Friday morning.
- Alpine
- Lift tickets: Full day: $65
- 1/2 Day Lift ticket(after 12:30pm): $53
- Rentals
- Gear: $49 (ski or snowboard), telemark $42
- Helmets: $10 (Delphine considers them non-negotiable, but technically they're not required)
- Clothing: $35 (jacket + pants)
- Lessons
- First timers: $99 gets you a 4hr lesson + lift tickets + gear rental (ski or snowboard)
- Intermed/Advanced lessons: $109 gets you a 2hr lesson + lift tickets + gear rental (ski or snowboard)
- Note 'first timer' lesson starts at 9:45am, regular lessons are either 9:45am or 12:45pm
