Aerosols in the region may be sourced from wood burning for heating of farm houses in winter and burning off of forest in spring to reduce fuel loads, or wildfires in spring and summer.The Robot is installed on an electrical control box, which sits atop of a custom tripod. A pyranometer is installed to the east of the robot. An 80W solar panel charges a 35 Ah gel 12v battery.
