Air Quality
Observatory
Urban background
(44°31' N 11°20' E, 39 m asl)
The air quality monitoring station is located inside the research area of CNR in Bologna, via Gobetti. The site is classified as urban background station. The activity of the measurement station began in November 2011, in the framework of the Supersite project of Regione Emilia Romagna.
Mt. Cimone
Italian Climate Observatory
“Ottavio Vittori”
Mountain remote background
(44°12' N, 10°42' E, 2165 m asl)
The Italian Climate Observatory “O. Vittori” (ICO-OV) GAW-WMO Global Station, is located on the top of Mt. Cimone (2165 m a.s.l.), the highest peak of the northern Italian Apennines and it is the only high mountain station for atmospheric research located both South of the Alps and the Po basin.
San Pietro Capofiume
Atmospheric Composition Observatory
Rural background
(44°39' N, 11° 37' E, 11 m asl)
The meteorological station “Giorgio Fea”, located at the rural site of St. Pietro Capofiume (BO), it is owned by ARPA Emilia Romagna and CNR collaborates and implements continuous measurements and performs field experiments for over thirty years.
NRT Observations
Some of the main parameters describing aerosol absorption coefficient (and ancillary data) observed during campaign are plotted here in Near Real Time,
site by site. Raw and unscreened data are represented and may not have final calibration applied.
Air Quality
The WRF-CHIMERE modelling system has been implemented over the Emilia Romagna region for simulating atmospheric gases and aerosols formation, diffusion and removal processes on regional scale.
Meteo
A meteorological forecast over the whole national territory is performed using non-hydrostatic Numerical Weather Model "Moloch" developed by CNR-ISAC. Moloch forecast (horizontal resolution about 1,5 km) is computed daily in operational mode in CNR-SAC. Here some forecast products are presented.
Backtrajectories
Flexpart lagrangian simulations allow to characterize the source-receptor relation of atmospheric tracers in the framework of long range and mesoscale transport. For the ACTRIS campaign a 1000 back-trajectories cluster is released every 6 hours from a 3D box of 0.5°x0.5°x500m dimensions over each measurement sites, travelling back in time for 4 days
