Grand Banks 2022 Aerosol Size Distributions from July Campaign

Gianina Giacosa from Borealis Harvested Dataverse provides aerosol size distribution data. The dataset contains measurements of aerosol diameters between 10 and 500 nanometers, collected using a TSI scanning mobility particle sizer. Data collection occurred during the FATIMA Grand Banks campaign from July 2 to 31, 2022.

Use Cases

• Modeling aerosol particle dynamics based on size distribution data.
• Analyzing temporal trends in atmospheric particle concentrations during the July 2022 campaign.
• Validating atmospheric chemistry models based on measured particle size ranges.
• Studying the impact of marine aerosols on climate based on data from the Grand Banks region.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific and well-defined time range from July 2 to 31, 2022.
• Measurements are focused on a precise particle diameter range of 10 to 500 nanometers.
• Data was collected using a specific, named instrument (TSI scanning mobility particle sizer).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
