Ultrafine Particle Dataset Collected by the OpenSense Zurich Mobile Sensor Network

Ultrafine Particle Dataset Collected by the OpenSense Zurich Mobile Sensor Network This dataset contains one year (2012/04- 2013/04, ~11Mio. samples) worth of ultra-fine particle (UFP) concentration measurements collected by a mobile senor network. The sensors are mounted on top of 10 streetcars in the city of Zurich, Switzerland. Hardware: Ultrafine particle sensor: MiniDiSC (see also: Martin Fierz et al. Design, Calibration, and Field Performance of a Miniature Diffusion Size Classifier. Aerosol Science and Technology, Volume 45, 2011.) GPS receiver: u-blox EVK-6p *.csv column format: Time of day: yyyy.mm.dd HH:MM Latitude WGS84 Longitude WGS84 HDOP: horizontal dillusion of precision, uncertainty of the GPS position Tram ID Number of particles [#/ccm] Average particle diameter [nm] LDSA: lung deposited surface area [um2 /cm3] Data quality: The data has been post-processed by performing a periodic null-offset calibration and filtering samples during malfunction.
