Weekly Size-Resolved Aerosol Properties in Metro Manila Over 16 Months

A 16-month time series of weekly, size-resolved aerosol properties collected in Metro Manila, Philippines. The dataset includes 48-hour weekly size distributions analyzed for water-soluble ions and elements, with additional sets for gravimetric analysis and black carbon measurements. It was authored by Connor Stahl and shared via the paperswithcode platform.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in aerosol size distributions based on weekly collection over 16 months.
• Studying the chemical composition of urban aerosols based on measurements of water-soluble ions and elements.
• Modeling black carbon concentrations in a megacity environment based on dedicated measurement sets.
• Investigating the relationship between aerosol mass and chemical species based on gravimetric analysis data.

Strengths

• Provides a 16-month temporal record, enabling analysis of seasonal and long-term trends.
• Includes multiple measurement types: size distributions, chemical analysis for ions/elements, gravimetric analysis, and black carbon.
• Focuses on a specific megacity (Metro Manila), offering detailed urban air quality insights.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
