Site Coordinates and Elevation:

  • Latitude: 70.66528° South
  • Longitude: 8.28367° West
  • Elevation: 65.0 Meters

Site Description:
  • The Aeronet site Neumayer3_TROPOS is installed in the vicinity of the Antarctic research station Neumayer 3. The station is located on 200 m thick ice, about 20 km inland of the ice edge on the Ekström Ice Shelf, which is part of Dronning Maud Land in the Atlantic Sector of Antarctica and is operated by the Alfred Wegener Institute. The general aerosol conditions can be described as clean and pristine. Elevated aerosol loads are mainly determined by long-range transported air masses from lower latitudes which arrive over the site at higher altitudes. Local, surface-near aerosol of marine origin (sea salt, biological material) can occur during austral summer. The instrument is installed on the roof of a research container platform approximately 400m south of the station itself. The Aeronet site is operated in the framework of the COALA (Continuous Observations of Aerosol-cLoud interaction in Antarctica) project of Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS), Leipzig, Germany, (https://www.tropos.de/), and is funded by the German Science Foundation (https://gepris.dfg.de/gepris/projekt/463307613?language=en, as part of the priority program SPP 1158: Antarctic Research with Comparable Investigations in Arctic Sea Ice Areas) and internal funds of TROPOS.
