9 results for “particle number concentration”
Aerosol particle number concentration measured over 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 aerosol particle number concentration with a condensation particle counter CPC model TSI 3022 at a time resolution of 10 seconds during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE). We report five-minute averaged data cleaned from exhaust gas influence. The lower cut-off of the CPC is 7 nm. Temporal coverage of the dataset is from December 20, 2016 to April 10, 2017.</p> <p>The total particle number concentration reflects aerosol particles from a variety of sources and processes. The concentrations include for example sea spray aerosol, long-range transported particles, newly formed particles and others. The variability in the concentration reflects processes such as wet removal through precipitation, new particle formation or sea spray formation.</p> <p><strong>Dataset contents</strong></p> <ul> <li>ACESPACE_aerosol_particle_concentration.csv, data file, comma-separated values</li> <li>data_file_header.txt, metadata, text</li> <li>README.md, metadata, text</li> </ul> <p>NaN values of aerosol particle number concentration denote missing values because of e.g., ship exhaust contamination, maintenance, instrument failure.

Ice Nucleating Particle number concentration from low-volume sampling over the Southern Ocean during the austral summer of 2016/2017 on board the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE).
<p><strong>Dataset abstract </strong></p> <p>Ice nucleating particles (INP) are a subclass of atmospheric aerosol particles, which can force heterogeneous freezing of cloud droplets at temperatures above -38 degrees C. In contrast, ice particles form from cloud droplets at temperatures below -38 degrees C due to homogeneous freezing, without INP. Due to their abundance, these particles can affect micro-physical properties of clouds, while acting as INP. During the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) around the Southern Ocean, off-line filter sampling was performed. Filters were stored on the ship and analysed after the cruise at Leibniz-Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS) concerning INP abundance. Here, we give INP number concentrations for sampling of 8 hour periods.</p> <p><strong>Dataset contents</strong></p> <ul> <li>ACESPACE_ice_nucleating_particles_frozen_fraction_from_lowvolume_filters.csv, data file, comma-separated values</li> <li>ACESPACE_ice_nucleating_particles_number_concentration_from_lowvolume_filters.csv, data file, comma-separated values</li> <li>data_file_header_frozen_fraction.txt, metadata, text format</li> <li>data_file_header_number_concentration.txt, metadata, text format</li> <li>README.txt, metadata, text format</li> <li>change_log.txt, metadata, text format</li> </ul> <p><strong>Change log</strong></p> <p>v1.1 - data files updated</p> <ul> <li>change dataset title to reflect low-volume sampling method</li> <li>addition of INP number concentration data from different temperatures</li> <li>addition of fraction of frozen droplets data</li> <li>addition of field blank filter data</li> <li>create separate data_file_header files</li> <li>add change log</li> </ul> <p>v1.0 - initial release of dataset</p> <p> </p>
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>

Ultrafine particle number concentration observations perpendicular to a main street in Berlin, Germany, in summer 2017
<p>The data set was recorded in summer 2017 in Berlin, Germany. It was the basis of the paper:</p> <p>Fritz, S., Schubert, S., and Schneider, C. (2021). Measurements of spatial variability of sub-micron particle number concentrations perpendicular to a main road in a built-up area. metz. 30, 315–331. doi:10.1127/metz/2021/1058</p> <p>The measurement setup, study site, and devices used are described more detailed in the paper.</p> <p>The data sets uploaded include observations of particle number concentrations, wind direction and wind speed at ground level as well as traffic count data. The time stamp is in local time for Berlin/Germany.</p> <p>The data sets:</p> <p>coordinates.csv contains the coordinates of the measurement points used in file obs_pnc_wind. The column ‘distance’ links these two files. The values in the column ‘distance’ are the distance from the curb of the main road. The distance ‘-10’ represents the measurement point on the central strip of the main road. The two columns ‘latitude’ and ‘longitude’ provide the coordinates of the measurement points.</p> <p>obs_pnc_wind contains the observation data for particle number concentration (PNC), wind speed, and wind direction. PNC was recorded in #/cm³ with a TSI 3007 CPC at a 1-second resolution. Wind speed `ws’ [m/s] was recorded with a KESTREL 5000 with a 2-second resolution. Wind direction ‘wdir’ [°] was manually recorded as the most prominent wind direction within the 3-minute measurements per measurement point in angles of 10°. Wind direction was changed to NA (wdir_comment > 0), if it could not be determined either due to too calm wind (wdir_comment = 1) or with continuously changing wind direction (wdir_comment = 2). Along the measurement route, sometimes additional sources occurred and were recorded in the variable ‘source_type’ at the time they passed by the measurement device. Variable ‘source_comment’ provides additional information about ‘source_type’ where necessary.</p> <p>traffic_count contains the vehicles counted on the main street (Straße des 17. Juni) for each of the 72 runs. It was calculated as [vehicles/hour] based on 5-minute traffic counts. During the traffic counts, we differentiated between smaller (light duty) vehicles (<3.5 t, cars, vans, motorcycles, scooters) and bigger (heavy duty) vehicles (> 3.5 t, trucks and busses).</p>

<p>Inverted HTDMA data, parcel model input, and parcel model output associated with the manuscript. HTDMA data are from the TRACER campaign and inverted using the LSQ1 or LSQ2 method described in Petters (2021). Model input is a 4 lognormal aerosol mode representation of the aerosol size distribution during TRACER, obtained by fitting measured size distributions obtained from mobility-based and optical-based sensors. Hygroscopicity is assigned for each mode based on observed size-resolved hygroscopicity from the HTDMA measurements. Model output refers to parcel model simulations using the pyrcel model (Rothenberg and Iompar).</p> <p>Petters, M.
