Abstract: The article presents a study which evaluates the air ion spectrometers of Airel Ltd. from the European Integrated Project on Aerosol Cloud Climate Air Quality Interactions (EUCAARI). The spectrometers include Air Ion Spectrometers (AIS), Neural Cluster and Air Ion Spectrometers (NAIS) and Airborne NAIS (ANAIS). Reference instruments used in the study are highlighted which include Differential/Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (DMPS), an Ion-DMPS and a Balanced Scanning Mobility Analyzer (BSMA).
