This is the page for the Front Range Aerosol Program (FRAP) meetings. FRAP meetings are organized twice per year and aim to bring together aerosol researchers across the Colorado Front Range. They were started by Jim Smith of NCAR in 2002 as the "NCAR Aerosol Program (NAP)", and later the name was changed to reflect the expanded participation.

The current FRAP steering commitee is comprised of: Chuck Brock (NOAA), Mary Barth (NCAR), Jim Smith (NCAR), and Jose-Luis Jimenez (CU-Boulder)

FRAP meetings are announced through the aerosols@lists.colorado.edu email list. Pls contact jose.jimenez@colorado.edu if you want to be added to the list.

Location: NCAR Foothills Lab Building 2, Room 1001 (Map to NCAR)

Speaker: Allen Robinson, Professor, Departments of Mechanical Engineering, and Engineering and Public Policy, Carnegie Mellon University
Title: "The dynamic duo: the adventures of partitioning and aging in the Carnegie Mellon Smog Chamber"
Abstract: This talk will highlight recent results on the interplay of partitioning and aging, including: 1. multigenerational chemistry; 2. phase mixing; 3. pumping of SVOCs

Following Allen's 35-40-minute talk there will be a wine-and-cheese reception and poster session with the following posters:

"Measuring Mass Concentrations of Urban and Rural Coarse Particulate Matter in Northeastern Colorado using Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalances (TEOM)", Nicholas Clements et al., (presented by Ricardo Piedrahita, University of Colorado).
"Fast Observations of Aerosol Chemical Properties with Various Online Instruments", Sanna Saarikoski et al., University of Colorado
"Developing and Testing Prototype Compact Denuders for Ambient Air Sampling Applications", Misha Schurman et al., Colorado State University
"Aerosol Number and Volume Concentrations During the Second Rocky Mountain Atmospheric Nitrogen and Sulfur Study (RoMANS 2)", Ezra Levin et al., Colorado State University
"Anti-Iced Heated Inlets for Airborne Sampling ", Dave Rogers et al., NCAR.
