Abstract

Use of Magee Scientific Aethalometer Model AE33 Instrument to measure the Black Carbon and Ultraviolet Particulate Matter Levels from the Particlate Matter in Air Data at Manchester Air Quality Site (MAQS) from 2019 onwards. Black Carbon measurements were obtained using electromagnetic wavelengths 370, 470, 520, 590, 660, 880, 950 nm.

Previously used record identifiers:
No related previous identifiers.
Access rules:
Access to these data is available to any registered CEDA user. Please Login or Register for an account to gain access.
Use of these data is covered by the following licence: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/. When using these data you must cite them correctly using the citation given on the CEDA Data Catalogue record.
Data lineage:

Data is transfered directly from the instrument to the computer database, before being transferred to the general database, where it is processed, averaged over minute time intervals and flagged where data is suspect. Data processing software found in: https://github.com/ncasuk/AMF_CVs/releases/tag/v1.0.0
Aetholometer Data is obtained between July 2019 and April 2022.
Data Quality:
No response or zero factor implimented. Intercomparison to be obtained once Total Carbon Analyser is obtained. Will be uploaded to GitHub folder in due course.
File Format:
NetCDF and BADC-CSV
