South Gladstone (Gladstone) 2012 hourly air quality and meteorological data
datastore ActiveURL: https://data.des.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/file/0030/83829/southgladstone-aq-2012.csv
Period of operation: 1 January to 31 December 2012
Site location: Latitude: -23.8626; Longitude: 151.2705
AS/NZS 3580.1.1:2007 site classification: Neighbourhood
AS/NZS 3580.1.1:2007 compliance (pollutants): Complies fully
AS/NZS 3580.14—2011 compliance (meteorology): Complies with the exception of the following:
- Isolated trees within 20 metres of the monitoring site
- Temperature and relative humidity sensors located at a height of 10 metres above ground level
- Monitoring shelter located on concrete surface
Wind: Ultrasonic sensor
- Height above ground level: 10 metres
- The wind direction sensor is aligned to magnetic north. The reported wind direction is referenced to true north by application of a magnetic declination correction of +10 degrees to the sensor output value.
Temperature: Capacitive ceramic sensor
- Height above ground level: 10 metres
Relative humidity: Capacitive thin film polymer sensor
- Height above ground level: 10 metres
Rainfall: Vaisala RAINCAP® precipitation sensor
- Height above ground level: 10 metres
Solar radiation: Pyranometer
Barometric pressure: Capacitive silicon sensor
- Height above ground level: 10 metres
Oxides of nitrogen: Chemiluminescence analyser operated in accordance with AS/NZS 3580.5.1—2010
- Instrument output offset and/or scaled based on calibration and daily zero/span response data
Sulfur dioxide: Ultraviolet fluorescence analyser operated in accordance with AS 3580.4.1—2008
- Instrument output offset and/or scaled based on calibration and daily zero/span response data
PM10 / PM2.5: Dichotomous Tapered Element Oscillating Balance (TEOM) fitted with Filter Dynamics Measurement System (FDMS) operated in accordance with AS/NZS 3580.9.13—2013
- The FDMS system compensates for the loss of semi-volatile components from the collected particulate matter.
- Reported concentrations are uncorrected instrument output values.
- Negative hourly PM10 / PM2.5 concentrations down to -5 µg/m3 resulting from instrument noise at low particle concentrations are reported.
Visibility-reducing particles: Nephelometer operated in accordance with AS/NZS 3580.12.1:2001
- Detector spectral response centred at 530 nm.
- Instrument output offset and/or scaled based on calibration and daily zero/span response data
