CPT Aerosol Properties Plots

These plots are designed to provide a quick look at the measured aerosol properties. They display raw unedited data, but known corrections for instrument errors have been applied.

Do not quote or cite.

Atmospheric Properties

Short Term Plots (smoothed corrected, 6 min. averages, includes up to last 48 hours of data transferred to GMD): Long-term Plots (smoothed corrected, hourly averages, last 30 days of data):

CPT System Status

These plots are designed to allow NOAA/ESRL/GMD staff to review current station operations. Feel free to browse these plots, but be aware that they are raw unedited data.
