A new multi filter sampler (MFS) was used to measure daily profiles of sulfate aerosol in Alaska during the period July 16 through July 19, 1979. During these 4 days, the variability is such that the percent standard deviation of an individual profile from the mean is as high as 23%. The results of these flights are compared with the Project Airstream results from the same time period.
