PM2.5 Equivalent Black Carbon Measurements from the ASCENT Network

In this dataset, data from a 6-wavelength aethalometer (AE33, Aerosol Magee Scientific) are reported. The instrument reports its measurements at 1 minute intervals. Light attenuation through the filter at each wavelength is converted to equivalent black carbon concentration, assuming a corresponding mass absorption cross-section.
