Dust profilers provide continuous measurements of atmospheric particulate with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 micrometers (PM10), less then less than 2.5 micrometers (PM2.5), less than 1 micrometer (PM1, ultrafine particles), and total suspended particles (TSP). These measurements can be used in different applications including air quality studies, radiative transfer modeling and solar resources assessment.
Three Dust Profilers with the following specifications operate at different locations within the perimeter of Masdar City:
