Droplet Measurement Technologies Ground-based Fog and Aerosol Spectrometer with Polarisation Detection (GFAS-DPOL)

Droplet Measurement Technologies Ground-based Fog and Aerosol Spectrometer with Polarisation Detection (GFAS-DPOL)

A compact, robust, easily deployable revolutionary way to analyse haze and fog

  • Discriminates between droplets, ice, dust and ash
  • Offers both forward and backscattering optics for simultaneous aerosol size and shape detection
  • Low maintenance, only requires monthly validation checks
  • Suitable for harsh conditions and tower mounting

How it works

The Ground Haze and Fog Aerosol Spectrometer (GFAS) GFAS-DPOL combines a forward & backscatter intensity particle size measurement with a polarisation detection measurement and a wind direction and speed measurement. It is used for understanding fog formation, development and decay, and deriving number concentration, liquid water content, extinction coefficient and visibility in warm and mixed-phase fog.

Applications include:
  • Smog and Haze studies
  • Mixed and glaciated fog
  • Dust events
  • Marine installations on sea shores or ships to measure sea and salt spray
  • Urban air quality studies
  • Long field deployments
  • Water harvesting
