Site
Description:
|
- The sunphotometer #1350 of Univeristy of Warsaw (UW) has been installed at the roof-platform of the Center for Physical Sciences and Technology (FTMC) on the 5th floor of the building, in the Antakalnis district of the city of Vilnius, capital of Lithuania, in a close proximity of forested areas. As this is a strictly non-industrial and residential part of the city, we typically expect at this site the aerosol types such as local anthropogenic pollution of urban origin due to main sources being primarily local transportation and secondarily domestic heating (both contributing to local episodes of winter smog), and thirdly frequent events of local pollination. Other sources of the aerosols measured over the site can be attributed to the long-range transport of biomass burning (mainly form Russia, Ukraine, Belarus), as well as the mineral dust advection form African desserts in the free troposphere.
