Aerosol Observing System (AOS): aerosol data, 1-min

The sgpaosC1.a1 datastream contains 1-minute aerosol data from the Aerosol Observing System. This system is the primary platform for in situ aerosol measurements at Earth's surface and typically consists of a combination of instruments that are selected to ensure optimal measurements at each deployment site. The data include measurements of aerosol absorption, backscattered radiation, scattering, cloud condensation nuclei, and particle number concentration. The data were collected at Facility C1 (Central Facility, Lamont, OK), which is located at the SGP site (Southern Great Plains), between May 19, 2007, and March 9, 2011.
