Single Particle Soot Photometer (SP2)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/248.025

Summary
The Single Particle Soot Photometer (SP2) is an instrument that directly
measures the refractory black carbon (rBC) content in individual
accumulation-mode aerosol particles and can identify iron-oxide-like aerosol
composition and concentration (here referred to as light absorbing metallic
(LAM) aerosol). This dataset contains SP2 rBC and LAM data measured aboard the
NSF/NCAR GV during HIPPO-4. The data are in NASA AMES format.The Single
Particle Soot Photometer (SP2) is an instrument that directly measures the

Versions
  1.0
  2.0: A reanalysis of HIPPO Single Particle Soot Photometer data was carried
out to generate a new data product: the mass and number concentration of
iron-oxide-like aerosols (here generally referred to as light absorbing
metallic (LAM) particles), and the fraction of these that have detection
properties consistent with anthropogenic iron oxides. The update adds
these products to the files. The format of the files has been updated to
reflect this, and file names harmonized between HIPPO campaigns.
