Pump Sensing head 25 cm 16 channels to 18.5  m diameter Flow rate 3 l/min – high sampling statistics allows 10 Hz temporal resolution Compact (25 x 8 x 6 cm) – allows collocation with sonic anemometer, short inlet tube and low flow distortion, & installation in balloon instrument package and on buoy CLASP Instrument

Total particle number concentration for D p > 11 nm Flow rate 1.5 l/min – good counting statistics 10 Hz sampling, but actual time response is slower Provides additional size bin from 10 nm to 240 nm in combination w/ CLASP Condensation Particle Counter
