Brisbane CBD (South East Queensland) 2018 hourly air quality and meteorological data
datastore ActivePeriod of operation: 1 January to 31 December 2018
Site location: Latitude: -27.4774; Longitude: 153.0281
AS/NZS 3580.1.1 site classification: Neighbourhood
AS/NZS 3580.1.1 compliance (pollutants): Complies, except for:
- Equipment located in room on sixth floor of building.
- Nephelometer inlet located on eastern side of building, 1 metre out from building.
- PM10 inlet located on building roof above equipment room, 1 metre above roof surface.
- Building lift shaft higher than PM10 inlet located 8 metres south of inlet.
AS/NZS 3580.14 compliance (meteorology): Complies, with exceptions:
- Building lift shaft higher than wind sensor and within 10 metres of sensor.
- Buildings higher than wind sensor located within 40 metres of sensor.
Wind: Ultrasonic sensor
- Height above roof level: 4 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 roof level: 4 metres.
Relative humidity: Capacitive thin film polymer sensor
- Height above roof level: 4 metres
Rainfall: Vaisala RAINCAP® precipitation sensor
- Height above roof level: 4 metres
Barometric pressure: Capacitive silicon sensor
- Height above roof level: 4 metres
PM10: Tapered Element Oscillating Balance (TEOM) Model 1405-F fitted with Filter Dynamics Measurement System operated in accordance with AS/NZS 3580.9.16
- 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 concentrations are calculated from running 1-hour average concentrations updated at six minute intervals.
- Negative hourly PM10 concentrations down to -5 µg/m^3 resulting from instrument noise at low particle concentrations are reported.
Visibility-reducing particles: Nephelometer operated in accordance with AS/NZS 3580.12.1
- Detector spectral response centred at 530 nm.
- Instrument output offset and/or scaled based on calibration and daily zero/span response data.
