The dataset presents atmospheric mass loadings of black carbon (BC) and brown carbon (BrC), during the Surface Atmosphere Integrated Field Laboratory (SAIL) campaign that took place from 2021 – 2023 in Gothic, CO. A Magee Scientific aethalometer (model AE33) was deployed at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, 200 m north of AMF2 to monitor mass loadings of optically absorbing aerosols. The instrument inlet was equipped with a BGI SCC 1.829 ambient cyclone with a particle cutoff of 2.5 μm and placed 5 m above ground level. The dataset reports hour-resolved BC mass loadings at 370, 470, 520, 590, 660, 880, and 950 (BC370, BC470, BC 520, BC590, BC660, BC880, BC950 in ng/m3) reported by the instrument built-in algorithm, which calculates mass loadings from the rate of change of the attenuation of light transmitted through the aerosol-laden filter. BC880 is the operationally defined reference of the BC concentration. Hour-resolved absorbance at each wavelength were calculated from their respective mass absorption cross-section in inverse megameters (Mm-1). The absorption Angstrom exponent (AAE) for BrC and BC were calculated for each hour. BrC AAE (AAE_BrC) was calculated from the slope of Log(wavelength) versus Log(absorbance) based on the measurements at 370, 470, and 520 nm. BC AAE (AAE_BrC) was calculated from the slope of Log(wavelength) versus Log(absorbance) based on the measurements at 590, 660, 880, and 950 nm. The aethalometer record spans time periods of 4/5/2022 – 10/3/2022 and 12/8/2022 – 10/9/2023. The ambient CO2 concentration recorded by a Vaisala CARBOCAP carbon dioxide probe GMP343 is also reported in ppm.
