These datasets contain the total particle number concentrations and normalized size distributions (dN/dlogDp) of excited, fluorescent, and hyper-fluorescent particles of sizes 0.5 to 20 μm (optical diameter). The normalized size distribution datasets are split into 20 size bins: 0.5 - 0.6 μm, 0.6 - 0.72 μm, 0.72 - 0.87 μm, 0.87 - 1.05 μm, 1.05 - 1.26 μm, 1.26 - 1.51 μm, 1.51 - 1.82 μm, 1.82 - 2.19 μm, 2.19 - 2.63 μm, 2.63 - 3.16 μm, 3.16 - 3.8 μm, 3.8 - 4.57 μm, 4.57 - 5.5 μm, 5.5 - 6.61 μm, 6.61 - 7.95 μm, 7.95 - 9.56 μm, 9.56 - 11.50 μm, 11.5 - 13.83 μm, 13.83- 16.63 μm and 16.63 - 20 μm. The data were measured by a WIBS-NEO (Wideband Integrated Bioaerosol Sensor, model New Electronics option) by droplet measurement techniques ltd. The data were processed using the IGOR WIBS toolkit V1.36 (DMT) and python version 3.9.7. These datasets have been averaged to 1 hour time resolution. The datasets were cleaned from local pollution sources by applying a pollution flag developed by Beck et al. (2022a,b), which is ...
