2 months ago A few comments from the side of the vocabulary nerd:
- would like to replace ice nucleating particle counter with ice nucleation particle counter:
would correspond better with definitions such as cloud condensation nucleus counter, i.e. refer to the operation principle, not the process. - droplet freezing array :
ok, but would need a definition. - cloud light scattering photometer:
ok, but would need a definition. - cloud light scattering spectrometer:
in the mail to Niku, a cloud hydrometeor size spectrometer is mentioned. Is this the same instrument? How about cloud hydrometeor light scattering size spectrometer? Also here, we would need a definition. - ion chromatograph offline:
small change to ion chromatograph, offline , to be fully consistent with previous definitions. - cloud water collector:
should we say liquid droplet water collector , to be fully precise? - total organic carbon analyzer:
So far, we have left out the total since it doesn't add any information. Also, the name doesn't refer to any operation principle, which would normally be the case for an instrument type. Would organic carbon catalytic combustion analyser and organic carbon chemical oxidation analyser be ok?

definition ice nucleating particle counter: Instrument designed for measuring the number concentration of particles in an aerosol sample that may act as ice nuclei for liquid cloud droplets by exposing the particles to an atmosphere with a defined water vapour supersaturation and temperature similar to those occuring in clouds.

Not yet discussed with new unit CCPar: cloud light scattering spectrometer Palas GmbH
ion chromatograph offline: ion chromatograph (Ion chromatograph that is deployed in a lab and receives samples, which were collected in the field and transported to a lab.)
cloud water collector: cloud water collector (Device for collecting liquid droplets by inertial impaction)
total organic carbon analyzer: total organic carbon analyzer (Device for the determination of the organic carbon concentration in a sample. This instrument converts the organic carbon in a sample to carbon dioxide (CO2) by either catalytic combustion or wet chemical oxidation. The CO2 formed is then either measured directly by an infrared detector or converted to methane (CH4) and measured by a flame ionization detector.)
The model names for the narrower concepts still need to be defined in some cases.
