This dataset contains raw particle number concentration data measured during the year-long MOSAiC expedition from October 2019 to September 2020. The measurement was performed in the Swiss aerosol container on the D-deck of Research Vessel Polarstern using a whole air inlet with an upper cut-off of 40 µm (called also total inlet). Data were collected by a Condensation Particle Counter (CPC) model 3776 (TSI Inc.) in 10 s time resolution with a lower cut-off diameter of 2.5 nm. More detailed information about its position and the measurement setup can be found in Beck et al. (2022). ... : We encourage data users to refer to Heutte et al. (Submitted) for a more detailed description of the data acquisition, data processing and corrections applied.We thank the Laboratory for Atmospheric Chemistry at the Paul Scherrer Institute for providing the instrument and expertise. ...
