Observation
Category : Air sampling observation
Situation : ongoing
Time zone : Local time +1


Sampling
Sampling height :
Description : continuous
Sampling and analysis frequency : 1 minute
Sampling environment :
Description for sampling analysis : Air Intake: open-face, ambient


Instrument and Analysis
Measurement method : Light absorption analysis (UV)
Current status and history of instrument : UV Photometer
Description of instrument : [1991-05-23 thru 1996-03-24] ML8810 (Monitor Labs);
[1996-03-24 thru 2010-01-01] TEI 49C (Thermo Environmental Instruments Inc.);
Since 2010-08-24: Thermo 49i (Thermo Scientific)


Calibration
Current scale employed in the measurement : NIST SRP #15
Measurement calibration : automatic zero and span checks every 25 hrs.; manual zero and span checks every 2 weeks; inter-comparison with a TEI 49C PS transfer standard every 3 months
Scale and calibration(treasability) : NIST SRP #15


Data Processing
Measurement unit : ppbv
Data processing :
Processing for averaging : Processing for Hourly Data:
Estimated standard uncertainty for hourly aggregates:
[1991-05-01 thru 1996-03-24] 1.5 ppbv below 15 ppbv, 5 % otherwise;
[1996-03-24 thru 2004-01-01] 0.9 ppbv below 44 ppbv, 2 % otherwise;
[2004-01-01 thru 2008-01-01] 0.9 ppbv below 58 ppbv, 1.5 % otherwise;
[2008-01-01 thru 2009-01-01] uncertainty = [(0.6028 ppb)^2 + (0.0088 *c)^2]^0.5;
[2009-01-01 thru 2010-01-01] uncertainty = [(0.8190 ppb)^2 + (0.0085 *c)^2]^0.5;
[since 2010-01-01] uncertainty = [(0.8351 ppb)^2 + (0.0086 *c)^2]^0.5

Data flag :
Data remarks : SD: If the SD is listed: Instead of the SD (standard deviation), the standard uncertainty is given.
