CoastalAerosol

CoastalAerosol is a technology company focused on advancing the measurement and understanding of aerosols in coastal environments. The organization develops instruments, software, and field services designed to monitor airborne particles and their interactions with marine, atmospheric, and urban processes. Its clients include government agencies, research institutions, and environmental consultancies seeking reliable data for air quality assessments, coastal ecosystem protection, and climate research.

CoastalAerosol was founded to address gaps in coastal air monitoring and to provide integrated measurement campaigns that combine ground-based sensors with remote sensing. Over time, the company expanded from instrument development to end-to-end solutions, including data platforms, calibrated field deployments, and collaboration with academic partners.

Its product line includes optical particle counters, nephelometers, filter-based samplers, and compact lidar instruments designed for coastal deployments. The company also offers a cloud-based data analytics platform, statistical tools for quality control, and services such as campaign design, calibration, and on-site field support. Training and technical support accompany all major offerings.

CoastalAerosol emphasizes traceable measurements, standard operating procedures, and interoperability with national air quality networks. Measurement methods combine optical sizing, scattering, and spectroscopy, with data streams integrated with meteorological observations and satellite data to enable model validation and trend analyses.

The company maintains partnerships with universities, government laboratories, and environmental agencies to support coastal air quality management, trend monitoring, and policy-relevant research.
