1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Description Figure 1. The Aethalometer® Model 633. The Model 633 represents the “Next Generation” version of the real‐time Aethalometer rack‐ mount instrument to measure Black Carbon (BC) particles in air. Please refer to the original Magee Scientific Aethalometer manual for a full description and background information on the method (http://mageesci.com/images/stories/docs/Aethalometer_book_2005.07.03.pdf). The Model 633 Aethalometer incorporates

® Teledyne Advanced Pollution Instrumentation Model 633 Aethalometer Black Carbon Monitor User Manual The ‘spot loading effect’ is a variable phenomenon which appears as a gradual reduction of instrumental response as the aerosol deposit density of the filter tape increases from zero to the predetermined limit of ‘Maximum Attenuation’ (Gundel 1984, Weingartner 2003, Arnott 2005, Virkkula 2007, Kanaya 2008). When the filter tape advances to a fresh spot, the data undergoes a di

Aethalometer data sorted and averaged according to loading (attenuation, ATN) on spot – roadside location in London, UK (top); urban site in Boston (Roxbury), USA (bottom). The London data show a systematic reduction at increasing loadings; while the Boston data do not. This demonstrates that any method intended to compensate for the ‘spot loading effect’ must be auto‐adap

® Teledyne Advanced Pollution Instrumentation Model 633 Aethalometer Black Carbon Monitor User Manual It is clear that the effect, when present, is linear with loading (‘ATN’). This can be represented as: BC (reported) = BC (zero loading) * { 1 ‐ k • ATN } where BC (zero loading) is the desired ambient BC value that would be obtained in the absence of any loading effect; and k is the ‘loading compensation parameter’ (similar to Virkkula, 2007).
