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.
