This is the page for the Front Range Aerosol Program (FRAP) meetings. FRAP meetings are organized 2-3 times per year and aim to bring together aerosol researchers across the Colorado Front Range. They were started by Jim Smith of NCAR in 2001.

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

Next Meeting: Thu Nov. 12 @ 3:30 pm, NCAR

Location: NCAR Foothills Lab Building 2, Room 1001

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
TBD by Julia Lee-Taylor, NCAR
