This Major Research Infrastructure (MRI) award will provide instrumentation for atmospheric research at Storm Peak Laboratory (SPL). The instruments will focus on measurements of the physical characterization of the atmospheric particle size distribution over the complete size range from aerosol of diameter a few tens of nanometers up to and including cloud droplets. SPL, operated by the Desert Research Institute (DRI), is a mountain-top atmospheric research and teaching facility located at 3220 m elevation in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. The site is accessible year-round to researchers and educators who require an instrumented site in the middle troposphere to study the atmosphere and its physical, chemical, and biological properties. This project will permanently equip SPL with a set of instrumentation in the areas of research and teaching conducted by the principal investigators. An enhanced research focus will be developed regarding the mechanisms of aerosol interactions with physical, chemical, and radiative processes in the atmosphere.

这项重大研究基础设施（MRI）奖将为风暴峰实验室（SPL）的大气研究提供仪器。这些仪器将侧重于测量从直径几十纳米的气溶胶到并包括云滴在内的整个尺寸范围内大气颗粒尺寸分布的物理特性。SPL由沙漠研究所（DRI）运营，是位于科罗拉多落基山脉海拔3220米的山顶大气研究和教学设施。研究人员和教育工作者可以全年访问该网站，他们需要在对流层中部的仪器站点来研究大气及其物理，化学和生物特性。该项目将为SPL提供一套由主要研究人员进行的研究和教学领域的仪器。加强研究重点将是气溶胶与大气中物理、化学和辐射过程相互作用的机制。
