Gesler from a condensation nucleus counter and a focused cavity aerosol spectrometer (FCAS) operated on the WB-57F. These data were corrected for refractive index and sampling bias in the FCAS. H. H.

37. -1 is obtained from their flux after correcting the weight fraction of Fe in their calculation. An additional uncertainty in meteoritic fluxes is introduced because the actual mass available for incorporation into stratospheric aerosols may be different from the incident mass because the oxygen bound into minerals and oxides is released during ablation and then accumulated during later oxidation of iron, silicon, and other elements.
