Collocated PurpleAir Sensors And T640 Reference Data Located At Durango Complex In Phoenix, AZ May 2019: Case Study Demonstrating EPA's Performance Targets And Sensorstoolkit Python Code Library

Three PurpleAir sensors were collocated with a T640x reference monitor at the Durango Complex Air Quality Monitoring Station in Phoenix, Arizona in May 2019. Both instruments measured PM2.5 and PM10 and this collocation exercise was done to better understand how the sensor data compared to the reference data and what data cleaning and correcting would need to be applied to the sensor data to make these two dataset more comparable. These data files contain the raw data from this experiment at 1 minute and 20 second time resolution for the sensor data and 1 hour time resolution for the reference monitor data. Data provided courtesy of USEPA and our project partners Maricopa County Air Quality Department.
