Concept information

Preferred term

CLAP  

Definition

  • Based on experience gained from years of operating commercial instruments continuously at field sites and intermittently in laboratory studies, staff at GMD designed a new instrument, the Continuous Light Absorption Photometer (CLAP), to be functionally comparable to a widely-used commercial instrument, the Particle/Soot Absorption Photometer (PSAP), but that did not suffer from the same operating limitations as the PSAP. The choice of a functionally comparable design to the PSAP allowed measurements from the CLAP to use the well-established PSAP correction schemes that account for know imperfections in all filter-based absorption measurements.
