The Aerosol/Cloud Particle Impactor/Replicator (ACIR) is an in situ airborne analyzer. It collects aerosol particles within the size range of 0.05-5 μm using Ames wire impactors. It can also be configured to collect cloud particles of sizes up to 500 μm using Formvar-coated glass rods. The Formvar replicator within the instrument provides measurements of the concentration, size, and shape of the collected particles at a spatial resolution of 20 meters at an aircraft speed of 200 meters per second. ACIR is typically used for measurements of cloud condensation nuclei, black carbon, and sulfate particles.
