Aerostat-lofted instrument and sampling method for determination of emissions from open area sources
Aurell, Gullett, Pressley, Tabor, GribbleAn aerostat-borne instrument and sampling method was developed to characterize air samples from area sources, such as emissions from open burning. The 10 kg battery-powered instrument system, termed “the Flyer”, is lofted with a helium-filled…
