Short summary
We report detailed lab-based performance evaluation of a robust hygroscopic tandem differential mobility analyzer (HTDMA), in terms of hygroscopic properties such as growth factor (GF) and the hygroscopicity parameter (κ). The HTDMA was deployed during a field campaign to measure the hygroscopic properties of aircraft engine PM emissions in the exhaust plumes from a CFM56-2C1 engine burning regular jet fuel, alternative fuels, and blends.
