Site Coordinates and Elevation:

  • Latitude: 44.65000° North
  • Longitude: 11.62000° East
  • Elevation: 11.0 Meters

Site Description:
  • The meteorological station “Giorgio Fea”, located at the rural site of St. Pietro Capofiume (BO), it is owned by Arpae (https://www.arpae.it/it). CNR-ISAC implements continuous measurements and has performed field experiments at the site for over thirty years. The station is equipped for online monitoring of gases (sulfur dioxide, ammonia, nitrogen oxides, ozone)and measurements of aerosol number concentration (by twin - DMPS in collaboration with the University of Kuopio). Speciation in continuous of non refractory chemical species (by Aerosol Mass Specrometer, AMS) is conducted on a field campaign - basis. The station takes part to the project SUPERSITO of Arpae for long-term monitoring particulate matter chemical composition. Arpae also runs radar measurements, radio soundings and operates a phenological station. Support structures to research activities are available at the field station: a chemistry laboratory, wi-fi connection over the entire field,two-storey tower suitable for sampling up to 7 meters. Because of these characteristics, the station is used for field campaigns in the framework of national and international projects. The station is part of the international network ACTRIS ( http://www.actris.net/language/en-GB/Project.aspx; PI for CNR-ISAC: Dr. Angela Marinoni, a.marinoni@isac.cnr.it). Further observations performed at the San Pietro Capofiume station are the characterization of physico-chemical-optical properties of both columnar aerosol population (sun photometry and lidar) and at ground (aerosol scattering and absorption measurements), together with an accurate evaluation the radiative balance and albedo description.
