Purpose
The scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) effectively measured size and number of particles between 15nm-32µm. 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).

Explanation

The WDCGG employs the following naming scheme:

[Station code].[Contributor].[Observation category].[Sampling type].

[Parameter].[Auxiliary item].[Data type].[Data version]. [Update date].dat

A file name consists of 10 components: Station code, Contributor, Observation category, Sampling type, Parameter, Auxiliary item, Data type, Data version, Update date, and dat.

Each component is delimited with a dot. Below is an example of a file name.
