Data Policy

The data are available free of charge for non-commercial and scientific use. By using this data, you as data user accept that an offer of co-authorship will be made through personal contact with the data providers or owners whenever substantial use is made of their data. In all cases, an acknowledgement must be made to the networks and/or models when these data are used within a publication. When used, the dataset should be cited using the Digital Object Identifier (DOI).

Descriptions

Other: The authors are grateful to all involved in managingthe sites and obstrevations during the covid-19 lockdoan periode, and back in time. Provision of observational data for this study has been acquired in the framework of ACTRIS, under the ACTRIS-2 (Aerosols, Clouds, and Trace gases Research InfraStructure) project supported by European Union (grant agreement no. 654109) and the Co-operative Programme for Monitoring and Evaluation of the Long-range Transmission of Air pollutants in Europe (EMEP) under UNECE.
