Data comprise monthly ammonia air concentrations from UK CEH ALPHA® (Adapted Low-cost Passive High Absorption) samplers co-located with UKEAP DELTA sites from January 2022 to December 2022. The UK Eutrophying and Acidifying atmospheric Pollutants (UKEAP) network measures air pollutants at rural sites across the UK. Originally the purpose of these measurements was for a calibrated ALPHA® uptake rate for the UK CEH Edinburgh research laboratory. Samplers are exposed in monthly cycles at the beginning of each month.

Provenance & quality

Local site operator duties are completed by UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (UKCEH) staff and Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI) staff at Hillsborough and analysis is completed by UKCEH Edinburgh. Data analysis and preparation is conducted using the AAGA (Ammonia Acids Gases and Aerosols) data processing tool. AAGA is a database designed to introduce more reliable, reproductible and traceable way of handling data from ALPHA® samplers.
