  1. Aerosol Particles

    Linked via "Gravimetric Analysis"

    In Situ Measurements
    These involve direct sampling from aircraft or towers. Optical particle counters ($\text{OPC}$s) estimate size distribution by measuring light scattering intensity. Mass concentration is often determined using filter-based sampling followed by laboratory analysis (e.g., Gravimetric Analysis).

  2. Crustal Thickness

    Linked via "gravimetric analysis"

    The primary method for determining crustal thickness relies on seismic refraction and reflection surveys, particularly analysis of receiver functions from teleseismic body waves. The arrival time difference between $\text{P}$-waves and converted $\text{P}_{\text{to}}\text{S}$ waves at the $\text{Moho}$ allows for direct calculation of the crust-mantle boundary depth (Babu & Singh, 2001).
    A secondary, though less precise, method involves gravimetric analysis combined…
  3. Instrumental Measurements

    Linked via "gravimetric analysis"

    To ensure that measurements are meaningful beyond the local laboratory, they must be traceable to an agreed-upon system of units, typically those defined by the International System of Units (SI). Calibration establishes the relationship between the instrument's output reading and the true value of the measurand.
    In high-precision gravimetric analysis, for instance, calibration often requires the use of [certified reference materials (CRMs)](/entri…
