In particular, the station is equipped with: • meteorological sensors; • global pyranometer for downward solar short-wave radiation; • surface ozone analyzer; • optical particle counter for aerosol size distribution from 0.3 to 10 micron; • on-line PM1/PM10 analyser ; • multi-angle absorption photometer for equivalent black carbon mass measurement. The aim of this air quality and climatic urban station will provide complementary information to that of the NCO-P GAW-WMO Global Station, thus representing a reliable reference point for typical urban (and polluted) conditions in the Himalaya foothills, increasing basic knowledge on air pollution in the Kathmandu valley and its possible recirculation to the Himalayas and the free troposphere.

The instrumental set-up is composed by: - Multi-Angle Aborption Photometer (thermo MAAP 5012). Minimum Detection Limit (2 minute average): <100 ng/m3 BC < 0.66 M/m Babs Minimum Detection Limit (10 minute average): < 50 ng/m3 BC < 0.33 M/m Babs Minimum Detection Limit (30 minute average): < 20 ng/m3 BC < 0.13 M/m Babs Filter Change: at 20% transmission (approximately 30μg) Light Source Wavelength: 630 nm (nanometers) Active Measurement Time: >98% Air Flow Regulation Deviation: <1% (PID type) The MAAP readings are corrected for measurement artifacts occurring at high black carbon mass concentration levels by using the methodology suggested by Hyvärinen et al.
