Title: Huygens/ASI plasma wave analyzer capabilities for aerosol measurement
Abstract: The capabilities of the Huygens Atmospheric Structure Instrument (HASI) are described. These include measurement of atmospheric electrical conductivity by the plasma wave analyzer. How measurement of the atmospheric conductivity can lead to an estimate or the total surface area of the aerosols as a function of altitude is outlined. It is concluded that since the ASI is designed to measure the electrical conductivity as well as the pressure and temperature as a function of altitude, its results should provide a useful check on other instruments that are designed to measure the abundance of aerosols in a limited range of sizes.
