Abstract:
Black carbon data collection from the European and Canadian Arctic in spring and in summer as measured on board of Polar 5 and Polar 6 aircraft by single particle soot photometer instrument during 8 measurement campaigns between 2009 and 2017. The data collection includes 6 spring-time measurement campaigns: PAMARCMiP 2009, PAMARCMiP 2011, PAMARCMiP 2013, RACEPAC 2014, NETCARE 2014, PAMARCMiP 2017, and 2 summer-time campaigns: NETCARE 2015 and ACLOUD 2017. The region, within the measurements took place was divided into 5 degrees latitude times 5 degrees longitude times 500 meters altitude times one campaign year sized grids. The measured single black carbon particles were sorted into these grids, and if at least 400 single particles were captured within a grid, the measurement was considered as valid and the average black carbon properties were calculated. The data files contain these average properties in the single grids (422 grids in spring, 85 grids in summer). More details on the measurements and how the BC properties were calculated can be found in Juranyi et al.
