Abstract
The Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) provides size-resolved chemical composition of non-refractory (vaporized at 600°C under vacuum) submicron aerosols with a time resolution of the order of minutes. Ambient measurements were performed in Tokyo between February 2003 and February 2004. We present intercomparisons of the AMS with a Particle-Into-Liquid Sampler combined with an Ion Chromatography analyzer (PILS-IC) and a Sunset Laboratory semi-continuous thermal-optical carbon analyzer. The temperature of the AMS inlet manifold was maintained at > 10°C above the ambient dew point to dry particles in the sample air (relative humidity (RH) in the inlet
