Cape Grim Particle Size Distribution Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/11.910

Summary
This dataset contains continuous measurements of Particle Size Distribution
data collected at Cape Grim during ACE-1 by A. Wiedensohler and F. Stratmann
(Institute for Tropospheric Research ?IFT?). For these particle size
distribution measurements, a Twin Differential Mobility Particle Sizing (DMPS)
system consisting of two Vienna-type Differential Mobility Analyzers (DMAs)
and two Condensation Particle Counters (CPCs, TSI 3035 and TSI 3010) was used.
Measurements were performed in the particle size regime 3 < dp < 750 nm. The
measured raw distributions were inverted using the new data inversion
algorithm developed at the IFT. During the inversion the DMA transmission
efficiencies and the CPC counting efficiencies were accounted for. The data
consist of date/time, cabin temperature (K), cabin pressure (mb), number of
size bins, midpoint particle diameter (nm), and discrete size distribution
(#/cm3).
