Abstract

Particulate matter data measured at 7m above ground level by a Palas FIDAS 200 Instrument at Manchester Air Quality Site (MAQS) for the Integrated Research Observation System for Clean Air (OSCA) project.
Measurements include the abundance of mass concentration of PM1 ambient aerosol in air, mass concentration of PM2.5 ambient aerosol in air, mass concentration of PM10 ambient aerosol in Air, and the concentration of ambient aerosol particles.

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 collected by the project team and 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 can be found in: https://github.com/ncasuk/AMF_CVs/releases/tag/v1.0.0
Once complete, data are uploaded to CEDA for archiving.
Data Quality:
If PM10 falls outside the 0 to 250 ug/m3 range it is flagged as outside the operational range. If any other PM data falls below 0 ug/m3, it is flagged as outside the operational range.
File Format:
NetCDF and CSV format
