MAPPIX: A software package for off-line micro-pixe single particle aerosol analysis
In the framework of a multiannual experiment performed at Baia Terra Nova, Antarctica, size-segregated aerosol samples were collected by using a 12-stage SDI impactor (Hillamo design). Approximately 2800 particles, belonging to the first four supermicrometric SDI stages – 8.39, 4.08, 2.68, 1.66 lm d...

In the framework of a multiannual experiment performed at Baia Terra Nova, Antarctica, size-segregated aerosol samples were collected by using a 12-stage SDI impactor (Hillamo design).

Four regions on each of the 12 sub-samples were measured; 60 aerosol particles were detected on average in each of the analyzed regions.
