From the 24th June to the 1st July 2013 an international school course on atmospheric aerosol physics, measurement, and sampling was organized by the Laboratory for Atmospheric Physics (LFA), La Paz, Bolivia in collaboration with the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS), Leipzig, Germany. The lecturer was Prof. Dr. Alfred Wiedensohler (TROPOS), a widely recognized expert on the topics of the course, who is currently editor in chief of the Journal Atmospheric Environment and the head of the World Calibration Centre for Aerosol Physics of the WMO World.
20 participants from different countries attendended the course, strenghtening their knowledge in special topics and providing a propitious framework for networking. A guided visit to the Chacaltaya GAW station ended the learning experience.
Overview of the course: aerosol definitions, mechanical and electrical properties, methods of sampling, particle counters, mobility and aerodynamic size spectrometers, integrating nephelometer, absorption photometers.
