Real- and near-real time data are transfered to EBAS database through NASA-ames data files (text file, .nas extension). Extensive information on how to submit data to EBAS is described on the EBAS website, and more specifically for bioaerosols here. An overview of the general submission procedure can be found here.
To simplify this procedure, AutoPollen will request 1) the EBAS station code and 2) the EBAS platform code, which you will need for the metadata in your submission. This will be done after the site has been AutoPollen-certified.
Once these codes have been received, the data transfer protocole must be set up. The present page proposes a walk-through explaining how a NASA-ames format looks like. Data submission to EBAS is mandatory for a site to be AutoPollen certified. In bold on the Example are the fields that should be adapted for each device.
NASA-ames files contain metadata and bioaerosol concentrations for one instrument over time for all taxa measured.
A python package for producing the NASA-ames files can be found here.
A template file can be downloaded here, and the standard script for producing a file fitting AutoPollen requirements can be found here.
