Auckland Point (Gladstone) 2011 hourly air quality and meteorological data

URL: https://data.des.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/file/0025/83329/aucklandpoint-aq-2011.csv

Period of operation: 1 January to 31 December 2011

  • Monitoring of temperature and PM10 commenced on 7 June 2011

Site location: Latitude: -23.8351; Longitude: 151.2539
AS/NZS 3580.1.1:2007 site classification: Neighbourhood
AS/NZS 3580.1.1:2007 compliance (pollutants): Complies with the exception of the following:

  • DOAS light path between 4 metres and 25 metres above ground level

AS/NZS 3580.14—2011 compliance (meteorology): Complies with the exception of the following:

  • Located on southern side of slope below a ridge
  • Trees within 20 metres of the monitoring site

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
Ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, benzene, toluene, xylenes (total), formaldehyde: Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS) analyser

  • Value is average concentration over 680 metre light path running north-south from ‑23.8351, 151.2539 to -23.8409,151.2550
  • Instrument output offset and/or scaled based on instrument calibration data

PM10: Tapered Element Oscillating Balance (TEOM) operated in accordance with AS 3580.9.8—2001

  • Measurement values do not compensate for loss of semi-volatile components from the collected particulate matter
  • Instrument output values are adjusted in accordance with US EPA equivalence designation method EQPM-1090-079 requirements (scaled by 1.03, offset by +3.0)
  • After adjustment, negative hourly PM10 concentrations less than -0.5 µg/m3 are removed and concentrations between -0.5 µg/m3 and 0.0 µg/m3 are set to 0.0 µg/m3
