== Scientific Objectives ==
 
 
 
BEACHON-MFO-2100 is a component of the overall [http://www.tiimes.ucar.edu/beachon/ BEACHON] project and stands for "Bio-hydro-atmosphere interactions of Energy, Aerosols, Carbon, H2O, Organics & Nitrogen - Manitou Forest Observatory 2011 Field Experiment." The scientific foci of the BEACHON-MFO-2011 field experiment include the emissions of primary biological particles (PBAP) and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) precursors, and their transformations and impacts in the atmosphere. An important angle is the evaluation of the importance of water availability in those emissions, transformations, and impacts.
 
 
 
== Practical Organization ==
 
 
 
* An email list has been set up <beachon-mfo-2011@googlegroups.com>. You can add others from your group, remove yourself, change the address with which you are subscribed, etc. at [http://groups.google.com/group/beachon-mfo-2011/ http://groups.google.com/group/beachon-mfo-2011/].
 
 
 
* A [http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=tYFDBCdib7n4snTiwSmcaQg&output=html List of Instrumentation] including power and space needs has been compiled. (If you want to participate or add instrumentation which is not currently listed, please let us know). We have recently recruited two PBAP instruments from Europe as well as other collaborators on SOA and other measurements.
 
** As a reference, the list of instrumentation for the BEACHON-ROCS-2010 field study is [http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=t8p9lKl0O2PLONF15hKS-UA&output=htm here].
 
 
 
* At present we are short on power by about a factor of 2. Thomas Karl has a similar problem for the 2010 Summer intensive, and we are going to meet with the NCAR Electrical Engineer (Dave Patterson) in the near future to discuss strategies for increasing the power at the site during the campaigns.
 
 
 
* Dates:
 
** Original proposal: Jul-15-Aug 15, 2011
 
** Known conflicts:
 
*** Gordon Conference Atm Chem: July 24-29. Inconvenient but ok.
 
*** CSU group: may have ICE-T project on June 20-July 15, 2011. But OK with Jul 15-Aug 15.
 
 
 
== Links and Info ==
 
 
 
* If you want an account to be able to add information to this Wiki, just let Jose know. Unfortunately we have to keep the Wiki password-protected as people were using it to sell Viagra and Vicodin otherwise.
