Standard Operating Procedures (SOPS) for Deployment and Startup of Filter Sampling Equipment: ARA N-FRM Samplers

The goal of this document is to provide field operators with an organized framework for successfully deploying filter samplers for a multi-year sampling campaign. Steps outlined here will benefit the scientists and technicians involved by providing a simple and repeatable procedure for sampling using ARA N-FRM filter samplers. These steps will improve the quality and reliability of the data resulting from the sampling process.
