Aerosol particles were collected using a four-stage Size and Time-resolved Aerosol Collector (STAC) during the SAIL field campaign. Each stage of STAC separates particles into distinct aerodynamic size fractions with 50% cut-off diameters: Stage A: 2.27 µm Stage B: 0.615 µm Stage C: 0.421 µm Stage D: 0.119 µm Each stage provides both size- and time-resolved sampling, enabling investigation of particle composition across different atmospheric regimes. Only a subset of samples was selected for analysis based on prevailing meteorological conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity, and air-mass influence) to capture representative aerosol types under distinct weather patterns. Collected substrates were first examined under Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to evaluate particle loading, morphology, and spatial distribution. Subsequently, Computer-Controlled Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (CCSEM/EDX) was performed to obtain size-resolved elemental composition of individual particles. A rule-based classification scheme was applied to categorize particles into major compositional groups (e.g., biological, carbonaceous, dust, sulfate, Na-rich, and mixed types). This dataset provides high-resolution morphological and chemical information on atmospheric particles collected during the SAIL campaign, offering insights into the influence of meteorology on aerosol composition and mixing state.
