This page serves as documentation for organization of the Jimenez Group's participation in CalNex-LA. Do not confuse this page with the Main CalNex-LA page or the CalNex-LA Logistics page.

Tasks in preparation for CalNex-LA

  • Field kit
    • broken UPS & check all UPSs: Delphine
    • CPC 3010: Mike
    • Orifices: Michael
    • DMA Column: Mike
  • Organization
    • Which AMSs to bring: MAB-AMS + LAB-AMS
      • Bring HIAPER as spare AMS (keep off, start if needed -- alternative to run it from the beginning)
    • AMS alternation: PAM + TD: on LAB-AMS,
      • Ambient: 1min V, 1 min W
      • PAM: same
      • TD: same (James wants to sample off this -- Jose will check with him, can we borrow a 2nd TD)
      • Need to set up + test Jayne switching valves: Mike + Amber
      • concentrator: Sanna not sure if she can make it, she can send concentrator at least 2 weeks in advance: we will use w/ MAB (Jose will check)
      • Need a set of valves for concentrator: Carly
      • Need to be able to step vaporizer temperatures: Carly
      • Inlet schematic for J-Group instruments: account for all fittings+tubing a priori: Carly + Amber (Delphine or Alex will dig out MILAGRO and/or BEARPEX). Include how to test for leaks and flows.
    • Put together 2x valve filtering system for inlet, order valves if needed (Delphine)
    • Which SMPSs
      • One in parallel with Lab-AMS, one in parallel with MAB-AMS, one as shared calibration system ($Mike$ + Ingrid + Michael + Donna)
    • PTRMS sharing for PAM: Amber will contact Martin.Graus@nooa.gov
    • DustTrak for sniffing: Michael already sent to TSI
    • OPC: Michael
    • Radioactive source and chemical inventory and shipping: Michael
    • Driving our stuff there: Michael will rent truck (Penske). Jose will contact NOAA folks. Drivers: Michael + Ingrid, Michael + Mike. Amber doesn't mind -->, Donna as backup.
    • Uploading and plotting data in real-time: Ingrid, Donna
    • Support: Delphine
    • who is here
  • Distribution of tasks while in the field
    • EI-AM
    • PAM
    • MAB-AMS
    • TAG-AMS
    • SMPS, CPC, OPC, DustTrak
    • Downloading data from other instruments and model, making graphs and posting them

Tasks for Michael upon arrival at the site

  • Check electrical connections with plug tester
  • Label all the plugs in all trailers with the circuit number, if not already labeled.
  • Check all pumps with DustTrak and portable CPC (need to borrow from Suzanne Hering) as they are being installed.
  • Post maps of Caltech and the local area, as well as hardware stores etc. in all trailers (next to door).

Tasks for Michael during the experiment

  • Keep on top of butanol scrubbing for our CPCs
