Webpage for the data: https://avaa.tdata.fi/web/smart/smear.
Open API query for the data (e.g. year 2006): https://avaa.tdata.fi/smear-services/smeardata.jsp?table=PUI_dmps_tot&from=2006-01-01+00:00:00.000&to=2006-12-31+23:59:59.999&quality=ANY&averaging=NONE&type=NONE&variables=mtime,quality,sizerange_id,ntot,ch01,ch02,ch03,ch04,ch05,ch06,ch07,ch08,ch09,ch10,ch11,ch12,ch13,ch14,ch15,ch16,ch17,ch18,ch19,ch20,ch21,ch22,ch23,ch24,ch25,ch26,ch27,ch28,ch29,ch30,ch31,ch32,ch33,ch34,ch35,ch36,ch37,ch38,ch39,ch40
Size distributions have been measured using different diameter ranges at different periods:
1. from 10 to 500 nm, 30 channels, 2.6.2006 - 31.3.2007
2. from 7 to 800 nm, 40 channels, 1.4.2007 - 31.1.2012
3. from 3 to 800 nm, 40 channels, from 1.2.2012
Particle diameters for different size bins were stored in “PUI_dmps_sizeranges” table. Variable “sizerange_id” in PUI_dmps_int/tot tables tells which size range should be used. Particle diameters can be fetched by API query (id=n, n is number of the size range period): https://avaa.tdata.fi/smart-smear-portlet/PUI_dmps_sizeranges.jsp?id=3
Interstitial (int) and total (tot) inlets:
Sample air for the instruments is drawn through two parallel sampling lines: interstitial (int) and total (tot) inlets:
* interstitial inlet (int) is equipped with an impactor with a 10-µm cut-off size followed by a cyclone with a 1.0-µm cut-off size (2.5 µm before 20 November 2009)
* total air inlet (total) with heated sampling lines and snow-hood to dry the cloud droplets (cut-off size 40 µm when the wind speed is below 20 m/s)
This two-inlet setup enables simultaneous interstitial and total air (interstitial + cloud drop residual) measurements when the tower is covered by clouds.
The size of data: ca. 12 MB/year, totally ca. 120 MB.
