Summary: | Dataset abstract Aerosol particles come from a variety of sources: a look at the chemical composition gives insights on the particle origin. Ion chromatography was performed for aerosol particles smaller than 10 micrometers (PM10 inlet), giving concentrations of sodium and chloride, as well as particulate methylsulfonic acid (MSA). For this, aerosol particles where sampled on quartz fibre filters for 24 hours each. The sampled filters were stored at -20 degrees C on the research vessel, transported frozen back to the chemistry lab of TROPOS and analysed for main ions. Temporal coverage is from December 20, 2016 to March 20, 2017. We give 24-hour quality controlled particulate MSA, sodium and chloride concentrations in microgram per cubic meter for the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) cruise over the Southern Ocean, as part of the ACE-SPACE project.
