Dataset abstract This data set contains the time series of single particle data, measured by the wideband integrated bioaerosol sensor (WIBS-4, University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, UK), during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE), which was conducted between 20th of December 2016 and 19th of March 2017. WIBS provides aerosol optical diameter (5 ��m - 14 ��m), asymmetry factor and fluorescent signals on three different channels. WIBS measures single aerosol particles at a sampling rate of 125 Hz. More technical details about WIBS could be found in Kaye et al. (2005).
