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 : UV Fluorescence
Current status and history of instrument : UV Fluorescence
Description of instrument : Thermo Environmental Instruments Inc.
[1987-09-14 thru 1991-03-07] APSA 350E (HORIBA Ltd.);
[1991-03-07 thru 1991-05-30] ML 8850S (Monitor Labs);
[1991-05-30 thru 1993-04-14] ML 8850 (Monitor Labs);
[1993-04-14 thru 2000-06-28] ML 8850S (Monitor Labs);
[2000-06-28 thru 2009-06-30] TEI 43C TL (Thermo Environmental Instruments Inc.);

Calibration
Current scale employed in the measurement : NMI PRM BH10 (10ppm ± 0.1ppm)
Measurement calibration :
Scale and calibration(treasability) : From 1993 until 07/1995: NIST SRM 1694a (100ppm ± 2ppm);
From 07/1995 until 08/2004: NIST SRM 1693a (50ppm ± 0.5ppm);
Since 08/2004: NMI PRM BH10 (10ppm ± 0.1ppm); NMI is equivalent to NIST (refer to the “Declaration of Equivalence“ between NMI und NIST)


Data Processing
Measurement unit : ppbv
Data processing : Quality assurance procedures involve time series plots, consistency checks. All aggregate calculations based on 10-minute aggregates with greater than 75% availability
Processing for averaging :
Processing for Daily Data:
Estimated standard uncertainty for daily aggregates:
[1990-01-01 thru 1991-03-07] 1 ppbv below 10 ppbv, 5 % otherwise;
[1991-03-07 thru 1999-01-01] 0.6 ppbv below 11.5 ppbv, 5 % otherwise;
[1999-01-01 thru 2008-01-01] 0.2 ppbv below 3.8 ppbv, 4.5 % otherwise;
[2008-01-01 thru 2009-01-01] uncertainty = [(0.0829ppb)^2+(0.0307*c)^2]^0.5;
[2009-01-01 thru 2010-01-01] uncertainty = [(0.1051ppb)^2+(0.0298*c)^2]^0.5;
[since 2010-01-01] uncertainty = [(0.1063ppb)^2+(0.0301*c)^2]^0.5
Processing for Monthly Data:
Estimated standard uncertainty for monthly aggregates:
[1987-09-14 thru 1990-01-01] 1 ppbv below 10 ppbv, 5 % otherwise;
Since 1 January 1990: No uncertainty is calculated.
Data flag :
Data remarks : SD: If the SD is listed: Instead of the SD (standard deviation), the standard uncertainty is given.
