AERODYNE RESEARCH, INC. HONORED BY AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY
Aerodyne Research, Inc., a contract research and
development company providing environmental measurement technologies and
services, has won the 2004 American Meteorological Society (AMS) award for
outstanding service to meteorology by a corporation. The award recognizes Aerodyne for
“development and application of sensitive methods to measure aerosol and trace
gas species critical to understanding chemical processes and transport.” The award is being presented today at the AMS
84th Annual Meeting in Seattle, Wash.
Aerodyne Research, Inc. (ARI) provides research and
development (R&D) services to commercial and government clients working to
solve national and international problems, addressing such critical issues as
global and regional environmental quality and development of clean and
efficient energy and propulsion technologies.
In addition to R&D services, Aerodyne designs and builds commercial
instrumentation for environmental and commercial process applications.
The AMS is recognizing ARI for the development,
commercialization and utilization of two instruments: aerosol mass spectrometers for real-time
quantification of the non-refractory chemical composition of fine aerosol
particles as a function of particle size, and tunable infrared laser
differential absorption spectrometers for real-time measurements of a wide
range of trace gaseous pollutants at sub-parts-per-billion levels. Located in Billerica, MA, Aerodyne was
incorporated in 1970 and has 50 employees.

The AMS is the nation’s leading professional society
for scientists in the atmospheric and related sciences. Founded in 1919, the Society promotes the
development and dissemination of information on atmospheric, oceanic, and
hydrologic sciences. The Society
publishes nine scientific journals, sponsors scientific conferences, and
supports public education programs across the country. Additional information on the AMS and the
Annual Meeting is available on the internet at http:/www.ametsoc.org/ams
