Abstract

Ammonia (NH3) and water (H20) abundance measurements made at 7 metres above ground level by a Los Gatos research ammonia analyzer instrument at Manchester air quality site (MAQS) for the Integrated Research Observation System for Clean Air (OSCA) project.

Previous Info:
No news update for this record
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 are transferred 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
Once complete, data are uploaded to CEDA for archiving.
Data Quality:
The baseline zero for the NH3 measurement has been checked using a zero-cylinder on 26th-27th July 2021. If the zero-corrected NH3 level falls below 0.5ppb or above 300 ppb it is flagged. 0.5 ppb is quoted by Los Gatos Research as the lower limit for the reliability of the Ammonia Analyser.
File Format:
NetCDF and CSV format
