Primary Mission
To contribute to reducing the uncertainties of Global Climate Models (GCMs) through advances in sampling and analysis of aerosols as a function of size, time, and composition.

Secondary Mission
To support aerosol studies in general through advanced sampling and analysis techniques, especially ultra-fine particles from transportation and industry in health-related studies.

Tertiary Mission
To support other scientific disciplines that can benefit from the use of these novel techniques, especially compositional data through "ex post facto" experiments in time-resolved linear systems.
