Table 9. Overview of datasets that have already been published, that were obtained from instruments that passed an intercomparison exercise at the World Calibration Center for Aerosol Physics (WCCAP) or that were obtained from instruments that were compared to an instrument that passed an intercomparison exercise.

*the first CCNC intercomparison will take place in fall 2016 at the European Center for Aerosol Calibration.

reports are available from the European Center for Aerosol Calibration (http://www.actris-ecac.eu/contact.php).

as of 24 August 2016 as a primary dataset on http://actris.nilu.no/, archived in EBAS.

§ref. 68 describes the data quality and instrument reliability for the site, but does not discuss the dataset included here as it covers an earlier time period.
