*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.
