Abstract: The article presents a study which uses a new counterflow virtual impactor (CVI) inlet in an effort to derive characterization and airborne deployment during the 2011 Eastern Pacific Emitted Aerosol Cloud Experiment (E-PEACE). The study suggests that the proposed CVI inlet is capable of dealing with several design issues including accessibility to probe interior and organic contamination. It also describes CVI design and presents results of field deployment.
