    Equivalent black carbon was measured from July 2005 till February 2007 by using a Particle Soot Absorption Photometer (PSAP). Starting from April 2007, black carbon is measured by a Multi Angle Absorption Photometer (MAAP, Model 5012 – Thermo Electron Corporation).

    Aerosol size distribution from 10 nm to 500 nm is measured by aDifferential Mobility Particle Sizer (DMPS) installed at ICO-OV in November 2005.

    The Differential Mobility Particle Sizer (DMPS) was installed at ICO-OV in November 2005, in collaboration with Kuopio University (Finland). The system include a Differential Mobility Analyzer (DMA) to select a narrow particle size followed by a condensation particle counter (TSI model 3010) to count individual particles: by setting different voltages in the DMA, particles of different mobility are selected and their concentration are measured.

    The Condensation Particle Counter (TSI model 3772) was installed at ICO-OV in March 2008, calibrated from TSI Laboratories. Once per year the instrument is used for a multi-ay intercomparison with the CPC running at the "Nepal Climate Observatory - Pyramid" GAW global station.
