Jondaryan (Jondaryan) 2014 hourly air quality...

Period of operation: 12 March (site established) to 31 December 2014
Site location: Latitude: -27.3713; Longitude: 151.5934
AS/NZS 3580.1.1 site classification: Neighbourhood
AS/NZS 3580.1.1 compliance (pollutants): Complies fully
AS/NZS 3580.14 compliance (meteorology): Complies, except for:

• Temperature and relative humidity sensors located 10 metres above ground level.
• Rainfall measured by acoustic sensor

Wind sensor: 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.

PM10/PM2.5: Dichotomous Tapered Element Oscillating Balance (TEOM) Model 1405-DF fitted with Filter Dynamics Measurement System (FDMS) operated in accordance with AS/NZS 3580.9.13

• 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/m^3 resulting from instrument noise at low particle concentrations are reported.

TSP: Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM) Model 1405 operated in accordance with AS/NZS 3580.9.13 (excepting FDMS requirements)

• Measurement values do not compensate for loss of semi-volatile components from the collected particulate matter.
• Reported concentrations are uncorrected instrument output values.
• Negative hourly TSP concentrations less than -0.5 µg/m^3 are removed and concentrations between -0.5 µg/m^3 and 0.0 µg/m^3 are set to 0.0 µg/m^3.
