Monte Curcio (Calabria)

Geographical Coordinates:

- Latitude: 39.315965 N

- Longitude: 16.423240 E

Altitude: 1768 m asl

Originally located near the town of Longobucco (1379 m above sea level), the new sites was selected following an analysis of representativeness as part of I- AMICA. The station is part of the GMOS network (www.gmos.eu) and belongs to the sub-network of high altitude stations. This measurement site has a clear 360 degrees horizon enabling measurement of low stratosphere air masses.

The formerly skylift station was completely adapted and now holds all I-AMICA instruments that are directly connected to the Internet. A number of facilities make the station suitable for high level research, which include: Internet through a satellite network, service facilities (gas distribution, electrical system, air conditioning), UPS and a video surveillance system.

The following are measured: Gaseous Elemental Mercury, Reactive Gaseous Mercury, Particle Bounded Mercury, Sulphur dioxide, Carbon oxide, Carbon dioxide, Ozone, Methane, Nitrogen oxides, PM10 and 2,5, Black Carbon, Particulate scattering, Number of particles and meteorological parameters.
