FlareNet’s first major collaborative experimental campaign was completed at the Carleton University’s Flare Lab during May 20-28, 2017. The focus of this effort was on developing particulate measurement protocols under Theme 4 and while also attempting black carbon emission rate and morphology measurements under Themes 1 and 4. These experiments will were uniquely collaborative, involving several PIs including Steve Rogak (UBC), Jason Olfert (U of A), Kevin Thomson (NRC & Carleton), Matthew Johnson (Carleton University), and their students (HQP) from across the Network.
