5th AMS Boulder Clinic Registration and Planning Form (March 2013)

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

Please fill this form if you will attend (or there is a good chance that you will attend) the 2013 AMS Clinic at the University of Colorado, Boulder. It starts on the afternoon of Monday March 25 (with the 2nd Symposium on Advanced Mass Spectrometry for the Atmospheric Sciences) and runs til the evening of Thu March 28. See http://cires.colorado.edu/jimenez-group/wiki/index.php/AMS_Clinic5 for more information on the AMS Clinic.

The Clinic is a HANDS-ON discussion-based workshop, based on user cases as is NOT presentation-dominated as the regular Users Meeting in the Fall. The people who should attend the AMS Clinic are those who are directly using the AMS and doing (or are VERY involved in directly supervising) AMS data analysis of field or lab data. The clinic will be much less useful for PIs who are not directly involved in directly using the instrument and doing data analysis, or for people who are just starting to learn about the AMS but haven't done serious instrument use and data analysis yet. Attendees are expected to bring to the Clinic datasets in which they are currently working, and be ready to use them as a basis for discussion with the group.

The AMS Clinic will take place immediately following the 2nd Aerodyne CIMS Users Meeting (March 22-25 also in Boulder, see https://sites.google.com/site/citofms/um/boulder-2013)

Note that for this survey, we use "AMS" to refer to all versions, including the ACSM

Which TOPICS / ACTIVITIES should we focus on for the HARDWARE part of the Clinic?

E.g. discuss

Discuss every instrument component with instrument in room, open boxes w/ camera, oscilloscope etc. (as in past 2 yrs)

Discuss the items that tend to fail (chopper, interlock, TPS etc.)

Interactive discussion of troubleshooting (e.g. "what may be wrong if my airbeam is low" or "if my data looks noisy"?)

Operation of the acquisition software while looking at noise and other performance

TOF tuning, thresholding

Discussion of problems brought up by users during meeting
