The Eastern North Atlantic (ENA) central facility is periodically affected by episodes of local aerosols. High-concentration aerosol events associated with potential local aerosol sourcesare sampled by the concentration particle counter (CPC) and can be observed in the high-time-resolution data. In an effort to remove aerosol data that is not regionally representative from the CPC data, an aerosol mask (ENA-AM)has been previously developed and validated during the ACE-ENA campaign (Gallo et al.2020). TheENA-AM is a standard deviation algorithm based on the statistically different behavior of adjacent data points used to determine periods when the measurements are impacted by local aerosols. Thisfilecontains one-minute-time-resolutionsubmicron aerosol particle concentration data sets from the CPCfor the year2016, and the correspondingENA-AM data sets to remove data points affected by local aerosol sources.
