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

    • 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

Thu & Fri March 3-4, 2011: BCN campaigns (DAURE & SAPUSS)

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.
