Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) concentrations from SAIL-Net

Abstract

This data set contains ice-nucleating particle (INP) concentration spectra collected during the SAIL-Net sampling period, which complemented the Surface Atmosphere Integrated Field Laboratory (SAIL) campaign in the East River watershed near Crested Butte, Colorado. SAIL-Net was a distributed aerosol measurement network designed to investigate aerosol variability across complex mountainous terrain. The data set includes samples from multiple SAIL-Net sites, including AOS, Gothic, Snodgrass, Pumphouse, Irwin, and Top. INP concentrations are reported as a function of freezing temperature, together with confidence limits, sampling times, site location, elevation, sampled air volume, and treatment information. These data provide an analysis-ready record of the INPs across the SAIL-Net network.
