Continuous corrected particle number concentration data in 10 sec resolution, measured in the Swiss aerosol container during MOSAiC 2019/2020

This dataset contains corrected particle number concentration data measured during the year long MOSAiC expedition from October 2019 to September 2020. The measurement was performed in the Swiss aerosol container on the D-deck of Research Vessel Polarstern using an inlet with an upper cut-off of 1 µm (called also interstitial inlet). Data were collected by a Condensation Particle Counter (CPC) model 3025 (TSI Inc.) in 10 s resolution with a lower cut-off diameter of 3 nm. More detailed information about its position and the measurement setup can be found in (Beck et al., 2022). The data are cleaned from calibration and zero-check filter periods and the time-stamps of all data points was synchronized to its closest 10 s interval. Some periods of the measurements were corrected for a step in the signal (see file description).

Participation of the Swiss Container was co-financed by the Swiss Polar Institute and University of Helsinki.
