The Radial Differential Mobility Analyzer (RDMA) is an in situ airborne analyzer that measures aerosol particle properties. RDMA samples aerosol particles through an ion source where they acquire an electrical charge. Particles with the correct charge and mobility are then counted with a condensation nuclei counter to determine the particle size. RDMA was designed to detect ultrafine aerosol particles in the 3 to 200 nanometer range.
