Short summary
This study improves the accuracy of optical particle counters (OPCs), instruments used to measure airborne particles important for air quality and climate research. Because OPC measurements depend not only on particle size but also on composition and shape, results can be uncertain. The paper provides a standardized database of correction factors for five commercial OPCs, helping researchers produce more reliable and consistent aerosol measurements across a wide range of atmospheric conditions.
