Popis: The optical properties of soot particles in plumes emanating from a high bypass turbofan aircraft engine (V2527) were measured at distances of 40–80 m behind the engine with a cavity-enhanced phase shift (CAPS)-based extinction monitor (known as the CAPS PMex) and a multi-angle absorption photometer, both operating at wavelength ∼630 nm. Integrated plume measurements from the two instruments were highly correlated with each other (r 2 > 0.99, N = 12) and with measured carbon dioxide emission concentrations. Ancillary measurements indicated that the soot particle volume-weighted mobility diameter distribution peaked at 60 nm with a full width at half maximum of ∼60 nm. The soot single scattering albedo determined using the absorption and extinction measurements under engine idle conditions was 0.05 ± 0.02 (where the uncertainty represents 2σ precision), in agreement with previous measurements of aircraft exhaust. The engine soot emission index (mass soot per mass fuel burned) for this particular engine, de...
