Sub-micron aerosol particle size distribution collected in the Southern Ocean in the austral summer of 2016/2017, during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition.
<p><strong>Dataset abstract</strong></p> <p>The authors would highly appreciate to be contacted if the data is used for any purpose.</p> <p>We measured sub-micrometer aerosol particles with two scanning mobility particle spectrometers (SMPSs) between 11 and 400 nm (file name ACESPACE_submicron_aerosol_particle_size_distribution.csv) in 100 bins, and 11 and 181 nm in 77 bins - so no data entry in the remaining 23 bins - (ACESPACE_submicron_aerosol_particle_size_distribution_nano.csv) at a time resolution of five minutes during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE). Particles in this size range are important for cloud formation because a sub-set of them can act as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN).</p> <p>The time series of the size distribution shows that the particle population over the Southern Ocean can be quite variable featuring three dominant modes: a new particle formation mode (11 – 30 nm); an Aitken mode (20 – 70 nm); and an accumulation mode (> 70 nm). Often a concentration minimum between the Aitken and accumulation mode can be observed. It is known as Hoppel minimum (Hoppel and Frick, 1990; 10.1016/0960-1686(90)90020-N). Typically, particles larger than this minimum act as CCN. The variability of the particle size spectrum is a result of particle sources and atmospheric processes. Sea spray generation adds larger particles likely with a peak in the mode around 200 nm. Trace gas emissions from microbial communities in the ocean, such as dimethylsulfide (DMS) will be oxidized to either sulphuric acid or methanesulfonic acid in the atmosphere which condense onto pre-existing particles, hence growing those. Sulphuric acid can also form new particles (new particle formation mode). Rain and snow will remove particles larger than the Hoppel minimum.</p> <p>The data set can be used to explore the variability of the particle size distribution in three different oceans around Antarctica (Indian, Pacific, Atlantic Oceans) and from Cape Town to Europe in relation to weather patterns, air mass trajectories, microbial activity etc. It is best used in combination with CCN data to explore the importance of particles for cloud formation. This data set cannot be used to unambiguously determine sources of particles over the southern ocean or to trace anthropogenic impact in the region.</p> <p>The data have been cleaned from the influence of the exhaust of the research vessel.</p> <p>We give five-minute average data as dN/dlog(dp), where dN is the particle number concentration per measured size bin normalized over the logarithm of the bin width. The bin width is defined as the distance between two diameters. They are spaced equally in log-space with dlog(dp) = log(d_n+1/d_n) = 1/64. To derive the total particle number concentration between 11 and 400 nm one has to integrate over the diameter range taking into account the normalization by dlog(dp).</p> <p>Temporal coverage is from December 20, 2016 to April 10, 2017. The file “ACESPACE_submicron_aerosol_particle_size_distribution.csv” covers the entire time period except between 9 and 14 January 2017 due to instrument issues. The file “ACESPACE_submicron_aerosol_particle_size_distribution_nano.csv” contains data for the period between 9 and 14 January 2017 and can be used to fill the above gap. The second data file stems from another SMPS with a smaller differential mobility analyser, hence the smaller diameter coverage.</p> <p><strong>Dataset contents</strong></p> <p>The data set contains two files with the size distribution of sub-micrometer aerosol particles.

Coarse mode aerosol particle size distribution collected in the Southern Ocean in the austral summer of 2016/2017, during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition.
<p><strong>Dataset abstract</strong></p> <p>The authors would highly appreciate to be contacted if the data is used for any purpose.</p> <p>We measured coarse mode aerosol particle size distributions with an aerodynamic particle sizer (APS, model TSI 3321) at a time resolution of five minutes during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE). The diameter range is 0.7 to 19 µm. Particles in this size range are indicative of primary sea spray aerosol, biological particles and potentially long-range transported mineral dust. These particles are also important for cloud formation as they act as cloud condensation nuclei or ice nucleating particles, the latter especially in the case of biological particles and mineral dust.</p> <p>Typically the instrument reports data starting from particles with a diameter greater than 500 nm, however, particle number concentrations in the channels below 723 nm were overestimated, which is a common artefact with this instrument.</p> <p>The data have been cleaned from the influence of the exhaust of the research vessel.

Number concentration and fluorescent class fraction of fluorescent and hyper-fluorescent aerosol particles measured during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition
<p><strong>Dataset abstract</strong></p> <p>This dataset consists of a 5-minute time series of number concentrations of fluorescent and total aerosol particles that were measured by wideband integrated by aerosol sensor during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition in the austral summer of 2016/2017. Furthermore, the dataset includes the fraction of fluorescent classes of aerosol particles, according to the ABC classification of Perring et al. (2015). The dataset provides information on fluorescent and hyper-fluorescent aerosols which were obtained by considering low and high fluorescence thresholds. For this dataset, aerosol particles that have optical diameter greater than 1 μm are considered. Since the ship’s exhaust could considerably affect the fluorescence properties of aerosol particles, in this dataset we removed the periods where it is likely that the samples were contaminated by the ship's exhaust.</p> <p><strong>Dataset contents</strong></p> <ul> <li>N_fluorescent.csv, data file, comma-separated values</li> <li>N_hyper_fluorescent.csv, data file, comma-separated values</li> <li>data_file_header.txt, metadata, text</li> <li>README.txt, metadata, text</li> </ul> <p><strong>Dataset license</strong></p> <p>This number concentration and fluorescent class fraction of fluorescent and hyper-fluorescent aerosol particles dataset from ACE is made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0) whose full text can be found at https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</p>

A European aerosol phenomenology – 9: LIGHT ABSORPTION PROPERTIES OF CARBONACEOUS AEROSOL PARTICLES ACROSS SURFACE EUROPE
<p>Carbonaceous aerosols (CA), composed of black carbon (BC) and organic aerosols (OA), exert an important role on the climate system through their interaction with solar radiation. Light absorption properties of CA particles are of special interest due to their important contribution to global and regional warming. Among atmospheric particulate matter (PM), BC and the absorbing components of OA (or brown carbon, BrC) are characterized by the highest absorption efficiency but their role in the current climate change, especially that of BrC, is still uncertain. Here we present the absorption properties of BC and BrC PM at 44 sites across Europe using aethalometer data collected at different types of environment (6 traffic (TR), 16 urban (UB), 7 suburban (SUB), 10 regional background (RB) and 5 mountain (M) sites). The absorption Ångström exponent (AAE) method was used to assign total measured absorption to the contributions of BC (bAbs,BC) and BrC (bAbs,BrC) to total absorption (bAbs). The results showed a clear dependence of the absorption coefficients bAbs, bAbs,BC and bAbs,BrC on station settings as follows: TR > UB > SUB > RB > M, even if significant exceptions were observed. The relative contribution of bAbs,BrC to bAbs (%AbsBrC) at 370 nm was on average lower at traffic sites (11-20%) reaching at some SUB and RB sites median annual values that accounted for more than 30% and 10% of the absorption at 370 and 660 nm, respectively. The median AAE of CA particles was correspondingly low at TR sites (1.1-1.2) where internal combustion engines dominated the CA mass concentration. Low AAE were also observed at some remote RB and M sites, likely due to the lack of proximity from BrC sources or lack of sufficiently strong secondary processes resulting in BrC. On average, AAE was lower in Western Europe (<1.3) compared to Eastern Europe (>1.3), likely due to a more extensive use of coal and biomass burning in eastern countries. The median AAE of BrC PM (AAEBrC) showed a wide range of values, from 2.5 to 6, with no clear relationship with station background or region. Assessing the seasonal variability revealed, overall, an increase of bAbs, bAbs,BC, bAbs,BrC in winter, which was attributed to meteorological conditions and more heating related emissions. Accordingly, bAbs,BrC exhibited a stronger increase than bAbs,BC, resulting in higher AAE and %AbsBrC during the winter season. The diel cycles differed between bAbs,BC and bAbs,BrC, with bAbs,BC showing the bimodal peaks during the morning and evening rush hours, whereas bAbs,BrC, together with %AbsBrC, AAE and AAEBrC, peaked at night. Decade-long trend analysis performed for a subset of stations across Europe revealed a decrease of bAbs, driven by declining bAbs,BC, whereas, overall, bAbs,BrC, %AbsBrC and AAE increased with time. This strongly implies an efficient reduction of BC mass concentrations from traffic sources in Europe and a less effective reduction of emissions from BrC sources. The observed increasing trends of AAE reflected a progressive change in the chemical composition of CA particles driven by a relative increase/decrease of BrC/BC content in CA with time.</p>

Field measurements of aerosol particles near a runway at Narita International Airport, Japan
<p>Field measurements of aerosol particles were conducted at an observation point ~180 m from the centerline of runway A (~140 m from the edge of the runway) at Narita International Airport (NRT), Japan, in February 2018. The online aerosol instruments used for the field measurements consisted of an ultrafine condensation particle counter (UCPC; Model 3776, TSI, d<sub>50</sub> = 2.5 nm), a condensation particle counter (CPC; Model 3771, TSI, d<sub>50</sub> = 10 nm), a scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS; Model 3080, TSI), and an engine exhaust particle sizer (EEPS; TSI). The other instruments included a carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) monitor (Model LI-840, Li-Cor Biosciences) and meteorological sensors. The sampling inlet for the UCPC, CPC, and SMPS was switched between an unheated (room temperature) mode and a 350°C heated mode every eight hours during selected time periods to measure the total and the non-volatile particles, respectively. The EEPS was operated independently from the UCPC/CPC/SMPS inlet system and it measured the unheated particle number size distributions during the entire period.</p>

Aerosol particles observed onboard the research vessel Mirai over the Southern Ocean in the austral summer of 2017
<p>We have compiled a dataset of field observations to measure aerosol particle size distributions and to collect the aerosols for the following laboratory analyses to quantify the chemical composition and ice nucleating properties of aerosols over the Southern Ocean in the austral summer of 2017 as a part of the research cruise of Japanese research vessel (R/V) Mirai (Cruise number of MR16-09 leg3). The particle size distributions (PSDs) of the submicron aerosols (14–737 nm in the electrical mobility diameter) were measured using a scanning mobility particle sizer, SMPS, which is composed of a differential mobility analyzer, DMA (model 3081, TSI Inc., Minnesota, USA) and a condensation particle counter, CPC (model 3010, TSI Inc.). Since a custom-made inlet system was installed in front of the SMPS, the PSDs of total and non-volatile aerosols upon heating at the 300°C were alternatively measured every 5 min. The PSDs of the coarse fluorescent and non-fluorescent particles (700–3000 nm in the optical diameter) were measured using a waveband integrated bioaerosol sensor, WIBS (type 4A, Droplet Measurement Technologies Ltd., Colorado, USA). Hourly averaged PSDs for the diameter range of 14–3000 nm were analyzed in the associated paper in order to relate the wave breaking state derived from the hourly observations of significant wave height on the R/V. Chemical compositions were derived from the collected samples with the following techniques at the laboratory, ion chromatography for water soluble ions (chloride, nitrate, sulfate, ammonium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium ions), thermal optical transmittance technique for carbonaceous aerosols (organic and elemental carbons), and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry for aluminum (Al). Ice nucleating properties of the aerosol particles were analyzed using a droplet freezing method (Cryogenic Refrigerator Applied to Freezing Test, CRAFT) at National Institute of Polar Research (Tobo, 2016 <a href="https://doi.org/10.1038/srep32930">https://doi.org/10.1038/srep32930</a>). All the data indicating the concentrations were reported at standard temperature and pressure (0°C and 1 atm).</p> <p>We prepared five files (comma-separated values) in total, which are hourly aerosol concentrations measured using the SMPS and WIBS, Particle size distributions measured using the SMPS, Particle size distributions measured using the WIBS, Aerosol chemical compositions, and Ice nucleating particle concentrations during the research cruise of MR16-09 leg3. Each file includes the header part to describe the aerosol data including the date and time in UTC, and the positions of the R/V.</p> <p>The associated paper discusses some aspects of data treatment and questions regarding to the methods employed in this study.</p>

Multimodal Dataset from Harsh Sub-Terranean Environment with Aerosol Particles for Frontier Exploration
<p>Algorithms for autonomous navigation in environments without Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) coverage mainly rely on onboard perception systems. These systems commonly incorporate sensors like cameras and LiDARs, the performance of which may degrade in the presence of aerosol particles. Thus, there is a need of fusing acquired data from these sensors with data from RADARs which can penetrate through such particles. Overall, this will improve the performance of localization and collision avoidance algorithms under such environmental conditions. This paper introduces a multimodal dataset from the harsh and unstructured underground environment with aerosol particles. A detailed description of the onboard sensors and the environment, where the dataset is collected are presented to enable full evaluation of acquired data. Furthermore, the dataset contains synchronized raw data measurements from all onboard sensors in Robot Operating System (ROS) format to facilitate the evaluation of navigation, and localization algorithms in such environments. In contrast to the existing datasets, the focus of this paper is not only to capture both temporal and spatial data diversities but also to present the impact of harsh conditions on captured data. Therefore, to validate the dataset, a preliminary comparison of odometry from onboard LiDARs is presented.</p>

Data for figures in "Next-generation ice nucleating particle sampling on aircraft: Characterization of the High-volume flow aERosol particle filter sAmpler (HERA)"
<p>Atmospheric ice nucleating particle (INP) concentration data from the free troposphere are sparse, but urgently needed to understand vertical transport processes of INPs and their influence on cloud formation and properties. Here, we introduce the new High-volume flow aERosol particle filter sAmpler (HERA) which was specially developed for installation on research aircraft and subsequent offline INP analysis. HERA is a modular system constisting of a sampling unit and a powerful pump unit and has several features which were integrated specifically for INP sampling. Firstly, the pump unit enables sampling at flow rates exceeding 100 L min<sup>−1</sup>, which is well above typical flow rates of aircraft INP sampling systems described in the literature (~10 L min<sup>−1</sup>). Consequently, required sampling times to capture rare, high-temperature INPs (≥-15 °C) are reduced in comparison to other systems and potential source regions of INPs can be confined more precisely. Secondly, the sampling unit is designed as a seven-way valve, enabling switching between six filter holders and a bypass with one filter being sampled at a time. In contrast to other aircraft INP sampling systems, the valve position is controlled remotely via software so that manual filter changes in-flight are eliminated and the potential for sample contamination is decreased. This design is compatible with a high degree of automation, i.e., triggering filter changes depending on parameters like flight altitude, geographical location, temperature, or time. In addition to the design and principle of operation of HERA, this paper presents laboratory characterization experiments with size-selected test substances, i.e., SNOMAX® and Arizona Test Dust. The particles were sampled on filters with HERA, varying either particle diameter (300 nm to 800 nm) or flow rate (10 L min<sup>−1</sup> to 100 L min<sup>−1</sup>) between experiments. The subsequent offline INP analysis showed good agreement with literature data and comparable sampling efficiencies for all investigated particle sizes and flow rates. Furthermore, the deposition efficiency of atmospheric INPs in HERA was compared to a straightforward filter sampler and good agreement was found. Finally, results from the first campaign of HERA on the High Altitude and LOng range research aircraft (HALO) demonstrate the functionality of the new system in the context of aircraft application.</p> <p>The given csv files contain the data for reproducing the figures in the publication.
