Dustrack Aerosol Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/560.042

Summary
This dataset contains the Dustrack Aerosol data collected during the Stable
Atmospheric Variability and Transport (SAVANT) 2018 Field Project. Dustrack
samplers were set up on four towers: Initiation tower, Release tower, Upper
Convergence Tower, and Lower Convergence Tower which can be seen on the
Dustrak8530 and 8520 Setup Maps shown in this dataset's readme. The Dustrack
and optical particle counter (OPC) samplers measured 1-second PM total data
and particle size distribution respectively. The dataset includes the Dustrack
data on experiment date of 09/23/2018-09/24/2018, 09/29/2018-09/30/2018,
10/11/2018- 10/12/2018, 10/15/2018-10/16/2018, 10/17/2018-10/18/2018,
10/23/2018-10/24/2018, 10/27/2018, 10/29/2018-10/30/2018,
11/02/2018-11/03/2018, 11/07/2018-11/08/2018, 11/10/2018,
11/11/2018-11/12/2018, and 11/13/2018-11/14/2018 in Excel documents converted
by ASCII format. All the Dustrak data of the same day are combined in one
excel document each date for easy observing.
