Purpose: The scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) effectively measured size distribution from 10 to 500 nm. The critical parameter for estimates of radiative forcing and cloud condensation nuclei is the size distribution. The data from March 2006 are recorded at the station Nepal Climate Observatory at Pyramid in the Himalaya (Nepal, 5059 m asl) are part of ABC-DISC database, maintained by UNEP (United Nations Environmental Programme).

Statement: Measurements of aerosol-size distributions at the NCO-P (or Nepal Climate Observatory at Pyramid) site were continuously performed by using the scanning mobility particles sizer (SMPS) technique determining the aerosol size distribution from 10 to 500 nm in accordance with "Atmospheric Brown Clouds Project (ABC) " Project standards.
