The roof represents the highest location on the Appalachian State University campus in Boone, NC. Boone is a small town located 150km northeast of Asheville, NC and 160km northwest of Charlotte, NC. Boone's mountain location in a region lacking significant industrial sources allows for aerosol measurements which are representative of the Southern Appalachian mountain region.
