[pam-users] IAC 2018: OFR special symposium, tutorial, and PAM users Mtg

[pam-users]

Dear all,

Just a reminder of the OFR Special Symposium and related activities at the
St. Louis International Aerosol Conference in Sep 2018. The abstract
deadline is 1-Feb-2018, with NO extensions.

Please forward to anyone who may be interested.

Thanks,
-Jose

Dear Oxidation Flow Reactor (OFR) practitioners,

As many of you know, in 2018 the International Aerosol Conference will take
place in St. Louis (Sep 2-8). For those of you that may be new to the IAC,
it is a kind of "super-AAAR" since the European and Asian aerosol
conferences are not held in 2018, and everyone is encouraged to attend the
IAC. There are typically 1000+ attendees on an IAC, compared to ~600 for
regular AAAR. Thus, it is an excellent opportunity to present your work.
For more information on the IAC see:

http://www.2018iac.org/IAC2018/assets/File/Call_for_Abstracts.pdf
http://www.2018iac.com

The 2018 IAC will have a strong focus on OFRs:

(1) As part of the conference, we are organizing a special symposium on
OFRs. The conveners and description of the workshop are:

Title: Oxidation Flow Reactors: Development, Characterization, and
Application to Aerosols

Organizers:Jose Jimenez (Univ. Colorado), William Brune (Penn State Univ.),
Andy Lambe (Aerodyne), Jay Slowik (Paul Scherrer Institut), Qi Chen (Peking
Univ.)

Invited Speakers: Yinon Rudich (Weizmann Institute), Lin Wang (Fudan
Univ.), Zhe Peng (CU-Boulder)

Description: Oxidation flow reactors (OFRs) are rapidly growing as a means
to study secondary aerosol formation. Several designs are in use or under
development for laboratory and field applications. There are many open
questions on their characterization, as well as on the comparability of
their results with the ambient atmosphere and traditional environmental
chambers. OFRs are being applied to many problems, including in situ
characterization of the aerosol formation potential of different pollution
sources and ambient air, as well as to many different laboratory studies.
This special symposium invites presentations on topics related to OFRs,
including: (a) new OFR designs and techniques, such as: different
geometries, flow rates and patterns, oxidant/radical precursors, and
photolysis wavelengths; (b) characterization of OFR fluid dynamics, gas- or
condensed-phase chemistry, aerosol formation, and other key properties; (c)
applications of OFRs to laboratory, source, and field studies; (d)
intercomparison studies of OFRs with traditional chambers or ambient air.

You can submit abstracts directly to the special symposium, instead of to
the regular topical sessions such as aerosol chemistry etc.

Abstract submission is already open at: http://aaarabstracts.com/
2018IAC/index.php

The abstract deadline is 1-Feb-2018, and there will be NO EXTENSIONS of the
deadline (contrary to the standard 1-week extension for regular AAAR
conferences).


(2) As part of the conference I'll present an updated tutorial on OFRs,
focusing on how to run good experiments. The 2017 tutorial and
recommendations are at:

(3) The PAM/OFR users meeting will also take place during IAC. As a
reminder, the meeting is open to everyone and not just owners of the
Aerodyne commercial PAM. This is an excellent forum for informal discussion
of technical and design issues.


Thus, we strongly urge you to attend IAC 2018 and present your OFR research
as part of the Special Symposium. Please forward to anyone I may have
forgotten, especially "OFR-but-not-PAM" users.

Regards,
-Jose et al.
