Boundary-Layer Telemetry & 16-Sector Wind Rose

Synchronize every aerosol sampling session with operational ECMWF IFS / DWD ICON-EU numerical weather forecasts or historical Copernicus ERA5-Land reanalysis back to 1950.

Directional Source Apportionment & Plume Radar

Computes directional frequency distributions across 16 compass sectors (N, NNE, NE, …) stratified by WMO wind speed classes (<1.5, 1.5–3.5, 3.5–6.0, >6.0 m/s) and resultant vector mean azimuth to identify upwind emission corridors during T-XRF sampling.

High-resolution hourly time-series tracking 2 m air temperature (°C), relative humidity (%), surface barometric pressure (hPa), and precipitation washout events across 48 h, 72 h, 7-day, or custom historical ERA5 windows.
