Flinders View (Ipswich, South East Queensland)...

Period of operation: 1 January to 31 December 2018
Site location: Latitude: -27.6529; Longitude: 152.7739
AS/NZS 3580.1.1 site classification: Neighbourhood
AS/NZS 3580.1.1 compliance (pollutants): Complies, except for:

• Trees above the height of inlet within 10 metres of the monitoring site.

AS/NZS 3580.14 compliance (meteorology): Complies, except for:

• Located on western side of slope below a ridge running northeast-southeast.
• Trees within 10 metres of the monitoring site (below height of wind sensor).
• Temperature and relative humidity sensors located 10 metres above ground level.
• Rainfall measured by acoustic sensor

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

• 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

• Instrument output offset and/or scaled based on calibration and daily zero/span response data.

Sulfur dioxide: Ultraviolet fluorescence analyser operated in accordance with S/NZS 3580.4.1

• Instrument output offset and/or scaled based on calibration and daily zero/span response data.

PM10: Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM) Model 1405 operated in accordance with AS/NZS 3580.9.16 (excluding 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 PM10 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.

Visibility-reducing particles: Nephelometer operated in accordance with AS/NZS 3580.12.1

• Detector spectral response centred at 530 nm.
• Instrument output offset and/or scaled based on calibration and daily zero/span response data.
