A Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) is issued by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT), and authorizes a utility to provide water and/or sewer service to a specific service area. The CCN obligates the water or sewer retail public utility to provide continuous and adequate service to every customer who requests service in that area. The maps and digital data provided in the Water and Sewer CCN Viewer delineate the official CCN service areas and CCN facility lines issued by the PUCT and its predecessor agencies. This dataset is a Texas statewide polygon layer of sewer CCN service areas. The CCNs were digitized from Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) county mylar maps. The mylar maps were the base maps on which the CCNs were originally drawn and maintained. CCNs are currently created and maintained using digitizing methods, coordinate geography or imported from digital files submitted by the applicant. TxDOT digital county urban road files are used as the base maps on which the CCNs are geo-referenced. It is best to view the sewer CCN service area data in conjunction with the sewer CCN facility line data, since these two layers together represent all of the retail public sewer utilities in Texas.*Important Notes: The CCN spatial dataset and metadata were last updated on: January 29, 2024The official state-wide CCN spatial dataset includes all types of CCN services areas: water and sewer CCN service areas; water and sewer CCN facility lines.

Cloud Condensation Nuclei (CCN) data: A Droplet Measurement Technologies (DMT) single-column continuous-flow streamwise thermal gradient chamber (CFSTGC; Roberts and Nenes, 2005) was deployed at the measurement site Weissfluhjoch (2700 m a.s.l., LON: 9.806475, LAT: 46.832964) to record the in-situ CCN number concentrations between February 24 and March 8 2019 for different supersaturations (SS). To account for the difference between the ambient (~735 mbar) and the calibration pressure (~800 mbar), the SS reported by the instrument is adjusted by a factor of 0.92. The CFSTGC was cycled between 6 discrete SS values ranging from 0.09% to 0.74%, producing a full CCN spectrum every hour. The raw CCN measurements are filtered to discount periods of transient operation and whenever the room temperature housing the instrument changed sufficiently to induce a reset in column temperature. Additional information can be found in Section 2.1.2 here. Hygroscopicity data: The CCN number concentration measurements were directly related to the size distribution and total aerosol concentration data measured by the Scanning Mobility Particle Size Spectrometer (SMPS) instrument at the same station (https://www.envidat.ch/dataset/aerosol-data-weissfluhjoch) to infer the particles hygroscopicity parameter (kappa). For each SMPS scan, the particles critical dry diameter (Dcr) is estimated by integrating backward the SMPS size distribution, until the aerosol number matches the CCN concentration observed for the same time period as the SMPS scan. Assuming the particle chemical composition is internally mixed, the kappa is determined from Dcr and SS, applying Köhler theory. Additional information can be found in Section 2.2 here. Predicted cloud droplet numbers: Droplet calculations are carried out with the physically based aerosol activation parameterization of Morales and Nenes (2014), employing the “characteristic velocity” approach of Morales and Nenes (2010). Aerosol size distribution observations required to predict the cloud droplet numbers and maximum in-cloud supersaturation are obtained from the SMPS instrument deployed at Weissfluhjoch. The required vertical velocity measurements are derived from the wind Doppler Lidar (https://www.envidat.ch/dataset/lidar-wind-profiler-data) deployed at Davos Wolfgang and are extracted for the altitude of interest, being 1100 m above ground level for Weissfluhjoch. Additional information can be found in Section 2.3 here.

As a part of an effort to improve the granularity of spatial data, unique identifiers (named “HHS IDs” in the datasets) have been assigned to each individual facility. These unique identifiers are provided so data users can reference each individual “brick and mortar” facility that is reporting data to HHS, even in cases when multiple facilities report under the same CMS Certification Number (CCN). Additional datasets and further details related to HHS IDs will be released at a later date.

With this file, you can associate the reporting facility with its physical location(s).

On October 8, 2021, this file will now include the HHS IDs for Psychiatric, Rehabilitation and Behavioral hospitals, as well as Ambulatory Surgical Centers and Free Standing Emergency departments wherever these institutions are reporting under https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/covid-19-faqs-hospitals-hospital-laboratory-acute-care-facility-data-reporting.pdf

In-situ marine cloud droplet number concentrations (CDNCs), cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), and CCN proxies, based on particle sizes and optical properties, are accumulated from seven field campaigns, ACTIVATE, NAAMES, CAMP2EX, ORACLES, SOCRATES, MARCUS, and CAPRICORN2. Each campaign involves aircraft measurements, ship-based measurements, or both. Measurements are collected over the North and Central Atlantic, Indo-Pacific, and Southern Oceans, representing a range of clean to polluted conditions in various climate regimes. With the large range of environmental conditions sampled, this collection of data is ideal for testing satellite remote detection methods of CDNC and CCN in marine environment. Remote measurement methods are key to expanding the available data, in these difficult to reach regions of the Earth, and improving our understanding of aerosol-cloud interactions. Additional particle composition and continental tracers are included to identify potential contributing CCN source. Several of these campaigns, include both High Spectral Resolution Lidar and polarimetric imaging measurements that will be the basis for the next generation of space-based remote sensors and, thus, can be utilized as satellite surrogates. Methods This is an aggregated dataset, consisting of timeseries with in-situ aircraft or ship campaign measurements from ACTIVATE, NAAMES, CAMP2EX, ORACLES, SOCRATES, MARCUS, and CAPRICORN2. CCN, CCN proxies and measurements necessary to identify particle physical and chemical properties and non-marine contributions to particle concentrations are included. All missing or invalid data flags are converted to ‘Na’. Some datasets have already been filtered for inlet shattering in-cloud, and measurement contamination from ship exhausts; however, methods of filtering ship exhaust vary by campaign. For the NAAMES ship campaigns, the research ship exhaust was identified and filtered out based on the wind direction relative to the ship exhaust and total particle counts. For CAPRICORN2, wind direction, total particle counts, black carbon particle concentration, and CO and CO2 measurements were also utilized in filtering ship exhaust. Finally, the MARCUS ship exhaust contamination periods are identified and filtered using total particle counts and CO measurements. The aggregated dataset is further filtered to eliminate measurements influenced by in-cloud inlet shattering and averaged at 10 second intervals for aircraft measurements and 5-minute intervals for ship measurements (except for CAPRICOR2 which is only publicly available at hourly averaged intervals).

ASCOS was an interdisciplinary expedition to the central Arctic on the icebreaker Oden from 1 August to 9 September 2008. The expedition focused on processes relating to cloud formation in the summer Arctic and included observations of marine biology and chemistry, atmospheric chemistry, physical oceanography, aerosol chemistry and physics, and meteorology. CCN data of two CCN counters as well as Activation Ratios calculated using total Particle Concentrations from a Condensation Particle Counter. One counter was scanning through five different supersaturations (around 0.1%,0.15%,0.2%,0.4%,0.7%), changing between them in 30 minute intervals. The other counter was constant at one supersaturation, which got changed once (on August 15th) from 0.15% to 0.2%. The values for the corrected supersaturations is given in the Supersaturations.xls file. All the data is in one minute average time, from :00s to :59s, the given time is in the middle of the average (:29s). Each file consists of four columns: date, number of CCN, activation ratio (number of CCN/total aerosol number from the CPC), flag. The CCN counters as well as the CPC measured in 1s resolution. This data can be provided if necessary.

Oxidant and Particle Photochemical Processes above a South-East Asian tropical rain forest (OP3-Danum-08) is a 3-year Consortium Grant of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), beginning 1 October 2007.

The objectives of the OP3 project are (i) to understand how emissions of reactive trace gases from a tropical rain forest mediate the production and processing of oxidants and particles in the troposphere, and (ii) to better understand the impact of these processes on local, regional and global scale atmospheric composition, chemistry and climate.

As part of the 3rd Intensive Campaign of SAFARI 2000, the South African Weather Bureau Aerocommander, JRA, flew 19 missions, for a total of 28 separate flights conducted between August 15th and September 7th, 2000. JRA worked closely with the other Aerocommander, JRA, and was dedicated to the measurement of trace gas and aerosol properties. A suite of trace analyzers (for O3, SO2, CO and NO), laser aerosol probes and atmospheric probes were present for all flights. Other instruments and sampling units present for some of the flights included, a nephelometer (Elias), CO flasks (Novelli) for MOPITT validation purposes, and VOC canisters for the collection and characterization of volatile organic compounds present over various land surface types.

The cloud condensation nuclei counter measures the concentration of aerosol particles by drawing an air sample through a column with thermodynamically unstable supersaturated water vapor that can condense onto aerosol particles. Particles that are activated, i.e., grown larger in the process, are counted and sized by an optical particle counter (OPC). In this way the CCN measures activated ambient aerosol particle number concentration as a function of supersaturation.

ARM operates both one- and two-column versions of the CCN.
