Site Coordinates and Elevation:

  • Latitude: 52.21093° North
  • Longitude: 20.98264° East
  • Elevation: 117.0 Meters

Site Description:
  • The sunphotometer #359 has been installed at the roof-platform of the Faculty of Physics of the University of Warsaw in a co-location with the Raman polarization lidar. The facility is located on the 4th floor of the building, at the corner of the Banacha and Pasteura streets, at the University Campus Ochota, in the city center of Warsaw, in a close proximity of the Pole Mokotowskie Park. 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 pollen. There are documented in literature also other sources of the aerosols measured over the site, which can be attributed to the long-range transport of frequently occurring biomass burning advection (aged biomass burning aerosols from North America and relatively fresh aerosols for Eastern Europe - Ukraine, Belarus), as well as less frequent long-range transport of the pollution from Western Europe and the mineral dust often (mixed with pollution) advection.
