AMS MINI CLINIC

THINGS TO DO BEFORE COMING TO BARCELONA:

To streamline this process, we ask that EVERYONE attending these Clinics brings AT LEAST ONE DATASET that you are analyzing, and in which they have made as much progress as possible with Unit-Resolution analysis (Squirrel), high-resolution analysis (PIKA), elemental analysis (formerly APES, now within PIKA) and PMF, up to the point(s) that are relevant to your analysis and/or where you may get stuck or confused.

It is very important that this is done with the following analysis software versions: - Igor 6 installed and updated to the latest version (6.21) - Latest version of Squirrel installed 1.50K(if you have a C-ToF, or Squirrel 1.50K + Pika 1.09G if you are using an HR-ToF, donwloadable from: - <http://cires.colorado.edu/jimenez-group/ToFAMSResources/ToFSoftware/index.html>http://cires.colorado.edu/jimenez-group/ToFAMSResources/ToFSoftware/index.html

For new experiments, you can download the templates from: - http://cires.colorado.edu/jimenez-group/ToFAMSResources/ToFSoftware/Downloads/Squirrel/ToF_AMS_Analysis_v1_50K.pxt - http://cires.colorado.edu/jimenez-group/ToFAMSResources/ToFSoftware/Downloads/PIKA/ToF_AMS_HRAnalysis_v1_09G_sq150K.pxt

For upgrading old experiments, you can download the IPFs from: - http://cires.colorado.edu/jimenez-group/ToFAMSResources/ToFSoftware/Downloads/Squirrel/Squirrel150K.zip - http://cires.colorado.edu/jimenez-group/ToFAMSResources/ToFSoftware/Downloads/PIKA/Pika109G.zip

The instructions for upgrading are available in the Wiki at:

- <http://cires.colorado.edu/jimenez-group/wiki/index.php/ToF-AMS_Analysis_Software#Squirrel_General_FAQ>http://cires.colorado.edu/jimenez-group/wiki/index.php/ToF-AMS_Analysis_Software#Squirrel_General_FAQ - http://cires.colorado.edu/jimenez-group/wiki/index.php/ToF-AMS_Analysis_Software#Pika_Technical_FAQ

It is CRITICAL that everyone upgrades their experiments to these versions. We will NOT discuss any problems which are due to using an old version of Igor or Squirrel / Pika.

Bold textPROGRAM OF THE AMS MINI CLINIC

Tue-Wed March 1-2, 2011: AMS Mini-Clinic

Some European scientists may not be able to attend the AMS clinic in Boulder (http://cires.colorado.edu/jimenez-group/wiki/index.php?title=AMS_Clinic3; 20-25/03/2011) so we do a European mini-clinic of 2 whole days focusing on main AMS issues including PMF. These two days are aimed to train students and data analysis people – time will be maximized and specific tasks will be thought (including PMF data analysis preparation, treatment and interpretation).

• Tuesday Morning
  • frag table adjustments (Donna)
    • Go through Frag Adjustments Wiki
    • Go through new frag table panel in Squirrel
  • HR / PIKA (Donna)
    • Click-along tutorial with PIKA (led by Donna)

• Tuesday Afternoon
  • After lunch: Open mike for user issues and questions (from ongoing analyses) & group discussion
  • HR species and frag table. SQ vs PK comparisons and differences. (Changes in SQ should be redone in PK) (Donna leading a click along)
  • Elemental Analysis (APES) -- click along

• Wednesday Morning
  • James' update on PMF errors
  • Examples of using incorrect errors in PMF
  • How to extract matrices for HR PMF (and what's happening in the code)

• Wednesday Afternoon
  • After lunch: Open mike for user issues and questions (from ongoing analyses) & group discussion

Bold text''''''WHY?

There are 3 main objectives during this fantastic Barcelona week across February and March 2011:

1. Monday: update on EUCAARI-EMEP data analysis. Three main papers will be presented: Eiko Nemitz, overview of bulk composition during the EMEP-EUCAARI 2008-2009 campaigns; Andre Prevot: PMF analysis of organic AMS fraction during the EMEP-EUCAARI 2008-2009 campaigns; Astrid Kiendler-Scharr: organic nitrate and CE for high nitrate. Single brief (5 slides max) for individual field studies are welcome. 2. Tuesday and Wednesday: some European scientists may not be able to attend the AMS clinic in Boulder (http://cires.colorado.edu/jimenez-group/wiki/index.php?title=AMS_Clinic3; 20-25/03/2011) so we do a mini-clinic of 2 whole days focusing on main AMS issues including PMF. These two days are aimed to train students and data analysis people – time will be maximized and specific tasks will be thought (including PMF data analysis preparation, treatment and interpretation). 3. Thursday and Friday: two projects were carried out in Barcelona in the last 3 years: DAURE (Jose Jimenez) and SAPUSS (Manuel Dall’Osto) where a number of AMS were deployed. Main presentation of results (Thursday – all welcome, we try to do this as a one day conference) and data analysis and publication SAPUSS-DAURE strategies (Friday) will be discussed.

AIRPLANE: There are two terminals to Barcelona BCN main airport, with several airplane companies using it. Other minor airports far from Barcelona (100 km, Girona and Reus – very time consuming).

BUS: Take blue bus from airport (http://www.aerobusbcn.com). Stop at first stop: Plaza España.Euro 5.05 single, 8.75 return (within 9 days). Then take the metro at plaza Espana, green line to PALAU REIAL. The underground system can be found at http://www.tmb.cat/img/genplano.pdf , 1 ticket 1.45 euro, T-10 ticket (10) for euro 8.45. (TMB is non Benzene chamber related as I pointed out to Sally last time she was here). 45 minutes from the moment you collect the luggage to the entrance of the Hotel (see later).

TAXI: Aprox 15-20 Euros from the airport. Around 20 min. Please notify that you wish to arrive through the Diagonal Avenue.

TUBE: GREEN LINE, PALAU REIAL STATION BY CAR: Take Diagonal Avenue direction Zaragoza-Tarragona. Once in front of Palacio Real (this is in the right side) take the first to the left to make a 180o change of direction but taking the lateral way of the Diagonal Avenue (right end in the city centre direction). Once in the lateral way, quickly take the right margin to turn the first to the right (the Faculty of chemistry is on the right hand). From this cross to the Institute you will have to drive about 150 m. The institute is in the left hand side of this pathway.
