Dataset
Number Concentration of Ambient Aerosol Particles in Air Data from Cloud Particle Condenser Instrument at Manchester Air Quality Site, 2019 onwards.
Abstract
Number concentration of ambient aerosol particles in air data measured at 7m above ground level by Cloud Particle Condenser (CPC) Instruments at at the Manchester Air Quality Site (MAQS) for the Integrated Research Observation System for Clean Air (OSCA) project.
Cloud Particle Condenser instrument 3750 was used (June 2019 - February 2021 and December 2021 - February 2022) and was switched over to Cloud Particle Condenser instrument 3772 (February - December 2021)

| 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 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 |
| Data Quality: |
No response or zero factor implimented but intercomparison between CPCs Data obtained from 3750 CPC and 3772 CPC shows 3750 CPC to be accurate. For intercomparison document, see GitHub folder.
