Measurements from twenty-six sites around the globe were analyzed under a standardized procedure creating a benchmark dataset. \r\n\r\nThe dataset covers the period from 1998 to 2017 (different for each site) and was measured as part of short campaigns or long-term monitoring sites\r\n\r\nThe sites composing the dataset can be now intercompared to each other, and the whole dataset can be used to validate remote sensing or evaluate model data, among others.","citations":"Burgos, M.A., Andrews, E., Titos, G., Alados-Arboledas, L., Baltensperger, U., Day, D., Jefferson, A., Kalivitis, N., Mihalopoulos, N., Sherman, J., Sun, J., Weingartner, E., Zieger, P.
