Description

Aerosol data collected on R/V Polarstern cruise ARK-XXVI-3.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Aerosols were sampled at a rate of 1 cubic meter per minute (1 m3/min) using the Florida State University high volume aerosol sampler (Tisch Environmental TSP TE5170V). The sampler was located on the flying deck, forward railings. Acid-washed Whatman 41, 47 mm disc (cellulose esters; W41) filters were used.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

Concentrations below the detection limit are flagged as "BDL" in the data columns. Detection limits were calculated using an air volume of 1200 cubic meters. See PDF of detection limits for this dataset.

Quality flag definitions:
BDL = below detection limit.
0 = No QC performed.
1 = Good data.
2 = Probably good data.
3 = Probably bad data that is potentially correctable.
4 = Bad data.
5 = Value changed.
6 = Sample < blank.
8 = Interpolated value.
9 = Missing value.

BCO-DMO edits:
- changed Aug and Sept to 08 and 09 in month columns;
- replaced blanks with 'nd' to indicate 'no data';
- modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions;
- removed % signs from RSD columns.
