Southport (South East Queensland) 2018 hourly air quality and meteorological data
datastore ActivePeriod of operation: 23 February (site established) to 31 December 2018
Site location: Latitude: -27.9612; Longitude: 153.4024
AS/NZS 3580.1.1 site classification: Neighbourhood
AS/NZS 3580.1.1 compliance (pollutants): Complies, except for:
- Buildings below height of inlet within 5 metres north and east of the monitoring site
- Isolated trees above height of inlet within 20 metres south of the monitoring site
AS/NZS 3580.14 compliance (meteorology): Complies, except for:
- Isolated trees within 20 metres south of the monitoring site.
- Temperature and relative humidity sensors located 10 metres above ground level.
- Rainfall measured by acoustic sensor.
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 +11 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.
Barometric pressure: Capacitive silicon sensor
- Height above ground level: 10 metres.
Ozone: UV absorption analyser operated in accordance with AS/NZS 3580.6.1
- Instrument output offset and/or scaled based on calibration and daily zero/span response data.
Oxides of nitrogen: Chemiluminescence analyser operated in accordance with AS/NZS 3580.5.1
- Instrument output offset and/or scaled based on calibration and daily zero/span response data.
Carbon monoxide (until 28 September): Infrared absorption analyser operated in accordance with AS 3580.7.1
- Instrument output offset and/or scaled based on calibration and daily zero/span response data.
PM10/PM2.5: Dichotomous Tapered Element Oscillating Balance (TEOM) Model 1405-DF fitted with Filter Dynamics Measurement System (FDMS) operated in accordance with AS/NZS 3580.9.13
- The FDMS system compensates for the loss of semi-volatile components from the collected particulate matter.
- Reported concentrations are uncorrected instrument output values.
- The reported PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations are calculated from running 1-hour average concentrations updated at six minute intervals.
- Negative hourly PM10/PM2.5 concentrations down to -5 µg/m^3 resulting from instrument noise at low particle concentrations are reported.
