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 is transfered directly from the instrument to the computer database, before being transferred to the general database, where it is processed using the Calibration data within the ACSM data. It is then divided into monthly files and data is flagged where data is suspect.
Data processing software found in: https://github.com/ncasuk/AMF_CVs/releases/tag/v1.0.0
Data obtained from 3750 CPC for June 2019 - February 2021 and December 2021 - February 2022
Data obtained from 3772 CPC for February - September 2021
Intercomparison between CPCs Data obtained from 3750 CPC and 3772 CPC.
Data Quality:
Data is calibrated for nitrate mass ionisation efficiencies (mIE) and the relative ionisation efficiencies (RIE) for ammonium and sulphate measurements. For full report on ACSM processing method see github file: https://github.com/naiwatson/OSCA/blob/main/Report%20on%20ACSM%20data.pdf .
File Format:
