Arundel (Gold Coast) 2012 hourly air quality and meteorological data
datastore ActiveURL: https://data.des.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/file/0024/83328/arundel-aq-2012.csv
Period of operation: 1 January to 15 February 2012 (site closed)
Site location: Latitude: -27.9441; Longitude: 153.3656
AS/NZS 3580.1.1:2007 site classification: Neighbourhood
AS/NZS 3580.1.1:2007 compliance (pollutants): Complies with the exception of the following:
- Three-story building within 20 metres SW of the monitoring site
- Trees above height of inlet within 20 metres W of the monitoring site
AS/NZS 3580.14—2011 compliance (meteorology): Complies with the exception of the following:
- Located on northern side of slope below a ridge running east-west
- Three-story building within 20 metres SW of the monitoring site
- Trees within 20 metres W of the monitoring site
- Temperature and relative humidity sensors located at a height of 10 metres above ground level
- Monitoring shelter located on paved area
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—2011
- 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—2011
- 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.
