Description In 1986, the Alert Background Air Pollution Monitoring Network (BAPMoN) Observatory was opened as Canada's first research station for the continuous monitoring of background concentrations of trace gases and aerosols. Currently, the Dr. Neil Trivett Global Atmosphere Watch Observatory at Alert, NU is the most northerly site in the GAW Network. It is located on the northeastern tip of Ellesmere Island in Nunavut, Canada, far removed from the major industrial regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Alert is also the site of a military station (CFS Alert) staffed with about 60 personnel, and an Environment and Climate Change Canada Upper Air Weather Station. The Alert GAW Observatory is approximately 400 m2 in size and is situated 185 m above sea level and 6 km SSW of CFS Alert. It is a key site for Arctic atmospheric process studies, which have led to the discovery of such phenomena as Arctic haze, important chemical interactions of pollutants with snow surfaces, and rapid changes in the chemical composition of the atmospheric boundary layer during polar sunrise. A team of Canadian scientists, working in partnership with international scientists, maintains the extensive measurement program at Alert. Currently at Alert, Environment and Climate Change Canada's Greenhouse Gas Measurement Lab (GGML), continuously measures ambient CO2, CH4 and CO via Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy from a 10m tower. Biweekly integrated samples are taken and analyzed for 14C isotope in CO2, by the University of Heidelberg. Aerosol optical, physical and chemical properties are measured, including light absorption, scattering, number size distribution, black carbon /organic carbon (BC/OC) concentrations and their 13C and 14C compositions. Weekly ambient flask samples were taken at the site and analyzed for CO2, CH4 and N2O from 1999-2018, as well as 13C and 18O isotopes in CO2, from 1998-2010 by GGML. Currently, other institutes such as NOAA, CSIRO, MPI and Scripps continue to take weekly flask samples.

Description The Global GAW station Bukit Kototabang is located on the island Sumatra, Indonesia (0° 12' 07" S - 100° 19' 05" E). The station is roughly 17 km north of the town Bukittinggi (population: 85'000) and around 120 km north of Padang which the capital of the province West Sumatra. The remote station Bukit Kototabang (which means The Hill of Flying City) is situated in the equatorial zone on the ridge of a high plateau at an altitude of 864.5 m a.s.l., and 40 km off the western coastline. The prevailing winds are blowing either from south-south-east (December to May) or from north-north-west (May to October). The temperature varies from 16 to 25 °C with only slight annual variation and the relative humidity is usually higher than 80%. The facilities at the site consist of a large one-storey building, which provides excellent space for offices, meeting room and laboratories. On the 300 m2 flat roof, the air inlet and several radiation and meteorological equipment are mounted. The station is reached over a small access road which is closed to the public and is a few kilometres off the westerly main road (moderate traffic) between Padang and Medan. The vegetation in the surrounding area (30 km) consists mainly of tropical forest. However, the small access road to the station enabled farmers to develop the area. The station responsible has asked the West Sumatra authorities for support about the concerns regarding the altering of the surrounding environment.

Description The Barrow Atmospheric Baseline Observatory, established in 1973, is located near sea level 8 km east of Utqiagvik, Alaska at 71.32 degrees north. This facility is staffed year around by 2 engineers/scientists who often commute to work in winter on snow machines. Due to its unique location, dedicated and highly trained staff, excellent power and communications infrastructure, the Barrow Observatory is host to numerous cooperative research projects from around the world. BRW is located so that it receives minimal influence from anthropogenic effects. It is about 8 km northeast of the village of Utqiagvik and has a prevailing east-northeast wind off the Beaufort Sea. It is attended at least 5 days a week for routine inspection and maintenance of the instrumentation. In addition, the National Weather Service (NWS) maintains a weather observing facility in Utqiagvik. Although the measurements at BRW are made over open tundra, there are large lagoons and a number of lakes in the vicinity, and the Arctic Ocean is less than 3 km northwest of the site. Because of its proximity to these bodies of water and the fact that the prevailing winds are off the Beaufort Sea, BRW is perhaps best characterized as having an Arctic maritime climate affected by variations of weather and sea ice conditions in the Central Arctic.

Description Bilsdale tall tower is in a remote area of the North York Moors National Park and is the first monitoring site in the northeast region of England. The closest large conurbations are York and Middlesbrough, located 30 miles south and 16 miles northeast, respectively. The tower is on a high plateau overlooking green valleys used mainly for livestock (sheep and cattle). Air samples are taken from a line sampling 108 meters up a tall tower for all gases. CO2, CH4 and CO are also measured at a height of 248 m and 42 m above ground level. Due to the sites location, far from strong sources of local pollution, measurements from this site will be used to calculate emission maps of trace gas species in the UK in combination with other measurement stations in the UK (Ridge Hill and Tacolneston) and Ireland (Mace Head).

There are six regional centers: 1-Cairo Regional Center for Communications 2-Cairo Regional Center for forecasts 3-Cairo Regional Center for the solar radiation 4-Cairo Regional Center for ozone 5-Cairo Regional Center for the calibration 6-Cairo Regional Training Center Cairo is the capital city of Egypt, and is the largest city in Africa, and the Arab World. It is the largest metropolitan area in Egypt, and is one of the most populous in the world. Cairo has a population of about 12 million people, according to the 2008 population census. In Cairo, and along the Nile River Valley, the climate is an odd mixture between Mediterranean climate and desert climate , but often with high humidity due to the river valley's effects. Wind storms can be frequent, bringing Saharan dust into the city during the months of March and April. High temperatures in winter range from 13°C to 19°C, while nighttime lows drop to below 8°C, often to 5°C. In summer, the highs rarely surpass 40°C, and lows drop to about 20°C. Rainfall is sparse, but sudden showers do cause harsh flooding. In a city near Cairo called New Cairo, the temperatures often drop below zero during winter. New Cairo's weather is generally cooler than that of Cairo due to its high altitude. Cairo is a rapidly expanding city, which has led to many environmental problems. The air pollution in Cairo is a matter of serious concern. Greater Cairo's volatile aromatic hydrocarbon levels are higher than many other similar cities. Air quality measurements in Cairo have also been recording dangerous levels of lead, carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, and suspended particulate matter concentrations due to decades of unregulated vehicle emissions, urban industrial operations, and chaff and

Description In 1994 and 1996 Canadian and US government agencies headed up the Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere study (BOREAS). BOREAS was a large-scale international interdisciplinary experiment in the northern boreal forests of Canada. The BOREAS program was completed in November 1996, however, several sites continued, including the sites in Saskatchewan, under the new study heading of the Boreal Ecosystem Research and Monitoring Sites (BERMs). There were three main study sites in the southern boreal forest of Saskatchewan, each representing a different forest type. The BERMS sites were also part of the Fluxnet-Canada network, comprised of seven flux stations in Canada. At the BERMs old black spruce (OBS) forest site, Environment and Climate Change Canada made continuous measurements of CO2, CH4, CO and N2O using Gas Chromatography, from 2002-2008, to compliment the ongoing CO2 and water flux measurements. A weekly flask-sampling program for CO2, CH4, N2O was also done from 2002-2005. The OBS site is located approximately 100km NE of Prince Albert within the Prince Albert national park. The vegetation is mostly black spruce, but approximately 150f the forest consists of deciduous-type larch.

Description Through the collaborative opportunity with Fluxnet Canada, ECCC initiated an Insitu CO2, CH4 and CO measurement program at an eastern boreal flux site located near Chibougamau, QU in August 2007. The site was maintained by the University of Laval in Quebec City. The objective of the Chibougamau carbon flux observational program was to enhance the understanding of the interactions of the eastern boreal forest, comprised primarily of old black spruce, with the atmosphere, measure seasonal and annual uptake and release of carbon from the forest and study how the forests might respond to changes in climate. Canada's eastern boreal forest consists primarily of black spruce and jack pine. Unfortunately, national funding for the Fluxnet Canada program terminated which precipitated in the closure of the station in August 2011. ECCC established a replacement site located 40km away at Chapais, Qu.

It's located ~45 km NW of the old Chibougamau site. The objective of the site is to enhance the network coverage over the boreal and wetland regions in eastern Canada, to improve the natural CO2 and CH4 source estimates and reduce associated modelling uncertainties. Unfortunately, an extensive multi-year overlap of the two sites was not possible to determine if the CO2 and CH4 measurements at both sites were statistically comparable. Weekly flask samples were also taken for CO2, CH4 and N2O from 2012-2016.

Description The Cape Point station is located in a nature reserve at the southern end of the Cape Peninsula, South Africa, (coordinates: 34°21' S, 18°29' E). The monitoring station is exposed to the sea on top of a cliff 230 m a.s.l., about 60 km south from the city of Cape Town. Since the dominant wind direction is SE - S - SW, the station is subjected to maritime air from the South Atlantic most of the time. The Cape Peninsula has a Mediterranean-type climate where the summers are generally dry and windy, whilst the winters are cold and wet. In 1995, the station moved to a newly built one story measurement location. The new location provides excellent space for present and future measurement activities and underlines the importance given to the site by the Government. It is situated adjoining the old station beneath the 30 m sampling tower and is built partially into the rock. The air inlet and several pieces of meteorological equipment are mounted on a platform at the top of the flat roof. Cape Point, which is also a popular tourist destination, can easily be reached by road from Cape Town, which is situated 60 km to the north. From the tourist parking area an electrical funicular railway leads up the hill. Tourists are only permitted to visit Cape Point during daylight hours.

Description Cape Rama is located on the west coast of India. The sampling location is on a flat rocky terrain, about 60 m above sea level. The site is devoid of vegetation over a scale of 50 m on all sides and is at least a few hundred metres away from sparse habitation. The meteorological data from Panaji show that in this part of the west coast, the wind in the afternoon (sampling time) is from the sea (onshore) all year round. In the northern summer monsoon period, this flow direction matches with the general large-scale flow and Cape Rama is located south of the inter-tropical convergence zone (ITCZ). Therefore, air samples collected during this period (June to September) represent tropical or SH oceanic air mass, representative of a wider area, and not contaminated by large industrial emission or strong ecosystem exchanges. In the northern winter monsoon period, the zonal wind direction is from the land to the sea and matches with the morning local wind (offshore). However, the same air mass is recirculated by afternoon sea breezes, with some dilution of continental trace gas signatures.

It is characterized by no local sources of contamination and no access by road and it is 200 m from a ski resort and from the cable car arrival point of the surrounding ski area. The operative station is situated at 1796 m a.s.l. on a southern Appenine mountain peak with completely free horizon, thus allowing to gain atmospheric monitoring measurements with a large spatial representativeness. It is interestingly placed on the middle of the Mediterranean basin, around 30 and 60 km from the Tyrrenian and the Ionian Sea, respectively. Due to its elevation and position, the Mt. Curcio station is even able to intercept dust plumes from the Saharan desert as well as volcanic ashes and gases from Stromboli and Mt. Etna volcanoes, located at around 120 km south-easterly and 220 km south-south easterly from the atmospheric monitoring site, respectively.

Description Just 3880 kilometres due south of Perth, Casey is the closest of Australia's permanent Antarctic stations. Situated in an area of the low rocky Windmill Islands and peninsulas, Casey is perched on the edge of the massive Antarctic ice cap. With more than more than 50 islands in the group, the Windmill Islands are home to tens of thousands of birds, including Adelie penguins, giant petrels, skuas and snow petrels. To the east of Casey, rises Law Dome, a small and almost circular ice cap 200 kilometres in diameter. Law Dome, 1395 metres high and 110 kilometres inland, is an immense ice cap that was the site of a drilling project that finally reached bedrock in 1993. The ice was measured to be 1200m thick. Casey is also the site of large moss beds, recognised as among the most significant vegetated areas on the continent. An Antarctic Meteorological Centre, established at Casey in 1993 to provide high resolution satellite imagery to the World Meteorological Centre in Melbourne, is now becoming the focus for weather and climate research in this vital part of the global weather system.

Description The East Trout Lake observatory is located 150 km North of Prince Albert close to the southern edge of a boreal forest region in central Saskatchewan at an elevation of 492m above sea level. The terrain in the surrounding area is slightly rolling with vegetation primarily consisting of black spruce but the forest also consists of deciduous-type larch and trembling aspen. This site has forest fire influence during the summer and is influenced by Arctic air masses during the winter. The observatory is situated in a small clearing of approximately 1 km2. Four levels of meteorology and intake lines (95, 55, 33, 22m) are installed on a 105m SaskTel communication tower. Continuous measurements of CO2, CH4, CO and N2O began in September 2005 using Non-Dispersive Infrared technology and Gas Chromatography to compliment the ongoing CO2 and water flux measurements at a number of flux sites in this region. Weekly flask-sampling for CO2, CH4, N2O, 13C and 18O in CO2 was also started in 2005 and continued until 2010 for the isotopes and 2017 for the other species. Weekly aircraft vertical profile sampling for the same trace species are done by NOAA, as part of the North American Carbon Program (NACP). Aerosol optical, physical and chemical properties, including light absorption, scattering, number size distribution, and black carbon /organic carbon (BC/OC) concentrations have been measured since May 2006. The GC and NDIR were replaced by Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy for measurements of CO2, CH4 and CO in July 2015.

Description Halley is on a floating ice shelf which moves roughly 500 m per year. In winter there is darkness for 105 days. Supplies are landed by ship onto the ice shelf and then towed on sledges to Halley VI, some 20 km distance from the ice edge. Total column ozone has been measured at Halley since 1956. Ground-based reactive gas measurements are made at Halley's Clean Air Sector Laboratory (CASLab) that is situated ~1 km from the station in a sector that receives minimal contamination from the generators. No routine vehicle access is permitted to the CASLab. The present station (the sixth near this location) consists of 8 purpose-built accommodation and science modules on hydraulic legs that are raised approximately annually to keep them clear of the accumulated snowfall. The station operates throughout the year with a population of roughly 65 in the summer and roughly 15 over winter. Internet access is available.

Description The town of Inuvik is located 200 km north the Arctic Circle and 117km south of the Arctic Ocean. It lies on the East Channel of the Mackenzie Delta, nestled between the treeless tundra and the northern boreal forest. Because of its location being in a discontinuous permafrost zone and within the tree line transition zone, this site provides an excellent platform for observing potential emissions of carbon from the high terrestrial/subarctic region. The location of the Inuvik site also provides an excellent opportunity to establish "baseline" conditions in advance of proposed fossil fuel activities in the immediate area. The sampling site is in an Environment and Climate Change (ECCC) upper air building facility located approximately 5 km southeast of the town and situated in a clearing on top of a 50m high ridge, overlooking the surrounding treetops. Currently, ECCC's Greenhouse Gas Measurement Lab (GGML), continuously measures ambient CO2, CH4 and CO using Cavity Ring Down spectroscopy via a 10m tower. Weekly ambient flask samples were also taken at the site and measured for CO2, CH4 and N2O from 2012-2017 by the GGML.

It is enclosed by two large arcs of mountain circuits: in north that is Khungey Ala Tao and in the south that is Terskoy Ala Tao, converging in west and east and forming the closed space. The hollow is prolate west-to-east more than on 250 km and has a widthway from the south to north about 100 km. From the total area about 23000 km2 of the hollow a water surface of the lake, located at the height of 1609 m above a sea level, takes 6292 km2. Northern part of littoral valley located below 1800 m above a sea level, and it widthway changes from 2 up to 10 km. The foothill ridges are raised up to 1 km above lake, and enclosing mountain ridges have the heights up to 4,5 - 5,2 km above a sea level. Due to the heat stored during a warm season in surface layers, Issyk-Kul lake does not freeze in cold time.

Description The Izaña station is located on the Island of Tenerife, Spain, roughly 300 km west of the African coast. The meteorological observatory is situated on a mountain platform , 15 km north-east of the volcano Teide (3718 m a.s.l.). The local wind field at the site is dominated by north-westerly winds. A predominant meteorological attribute of the Canary Islands region is the presence of the trade wind inversion that persists through most of the year and is well below the altitude of the station. The ground in the vicinity around Izaña is loosely covered with light volcanic soil. The vegetation in the surrounding area is sparse, consisting mainly of broom. About 100 m south of the station a road leads to the meteorological observatory, and also serves the astrophysical institute of the Canaries and a nearby military camp. Because the road is closed to public traffic, only approximately 5 to 10 cars a day pass the vicinity. The complementary background urban pollution research Observatory at Santa Cruz de Tenerife (SCO, 28º 28’N; 16º15’ W) is located on the roof of the IARC’s headquarters at 52 m a.s.l. in the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, by the city harbour.

Description Krvavec monitoring site is located on a hillside of Alps, at 1720 m a.s.l. within Alpine climate zone. Monitoring site is surrounded mostly by short grass (above 1600 m) and partly by coniferous forest (below 1600 m). The surrounding mountain peaks are rocky (limestone). The site is situated about 30 km north of Ljubljana (capital of Slovenia), on the ridge of the south-eastern Alps (Karavanke mountain ridge with peaks of 1500-2500 m a.s.l.). The monitoring site is above the cold surface layer of air which forms in the Ljubljana basin. Sometimes, not very often, the inversion layer at the height of 2-3 km a.s.l. (caused by subsidence in a stable anticyclone) sinks below the height of the monitoring station. During such events the site is usually in the clouds.

Description Lauder is located in a sparsely populated rural environment on the South Island of New Zealand at 45.0ºS, 169.7ºE, altitude 370 m asl. It is located in a broad valley in Central Otago, approximately 40 km north of Alexandra on State Highway 85. The site is surrounded by pastoral farms running low stock numbers of mainly sheep and cattle. The Atmospheric Research facility was established by DSIR in 1960 to facilitate research of the upper atmosphere (mainly ionospheric), but changed to research into stratospheric composition and UV radiation in the 1980s. Over the last decade the focus has increasingly moved to include climate change and full spectrum radiation research. The site was originally chosen for its clear skies, low pollution, and low stray light levels; and these qualities continue to make Lauder a valuable atmospheric measurement site with a combination of ground-based, balloon-sonde and in-situ measurements. Lauder is maintained by New Zealand’s Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research (NIWA), and has a staff of approximately 15. There is on-site housing for visiting researchers. Lauder is an NDACC affiliated station with UVvis, FTIR, Microwave, Lidar, ozone + Frost Point Hygrometer sonde, UV radiation, and Dobson ozone measurements. Lauder is also a BSRN station that contributes to knowledge on radiation, cloud and aerosol and is a ground station for receiving satellite imagery. Lauder is a GRUAN-certified site (RS-92 measurement program).

Description Insitu CO2, CH4 and CO measurements program began at Lac la Biche, Alberta in April 2007 using an NDIR and Gas Chromatograph, and a 10m tower. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), through a collaboration with Fluxnet Canada, initiated the measurements program at Lac La Biche. The site was initially established in 2003 by the University of Lethbridge, Alberta. The initial objective of the site was to study the role of peatlands in the global carbon budget and climate change. In 2009, the University of Lethbridge terminated their flux measurement program and ECCC purchased the building and assumed overall responsibility of the site. The Lac la Biche measurement site is located in a region of peatlands and forest, approximately 200 km NE of Edmonton, Alberta and 230 km due south of Fort McMurray. The primary goal of the insitu observational program at Lac Labiche is to apply data assimilation modelling techniques, together with long-term monitoring of CO2 and CH4 to independently quantify anthropogenic emissions for southern Alberta. In June, 2009, ECCC installed a 50m tower, in order to draw ambient air that was higher above the tree canopy. Currently, ECCC's Greenhouse gas measurement lab continuously measures CO2, CH4 and CO using Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy from the 50m tower.

Status Operational
Description Lamezia Terme CNR-ISAC station is located in a strategic and isolated position, 600 m from the coastline of the Lamezia Terme plane, outside the only valley in Calabria which allows the Tyrrhenian Sea to connect with the Ionio Sea. Its complex orography and its long and narrow shape create a complex interaction of breezes which develop perpendicularly the two coasts with the synoptic circulation, that mainly goes west. In detail, breezes from the sea go mainly W-WSW, while breezes from the earth go mainly E-ENE. Breezes are characterized by seasonal cycles modulated by the temperature gradient between sea and land in addition to the synoptic circulation (more prevalent in determining local circulation in late fall and winter). In particular, while during the summer, there are strong breezes from the sea during the day, in winter there are, at night, intense breezes coming from the land. It was also demonstrated how the breeze system dominated atmospheric circulation in Lamezia Terme and it has an important role in defining local climates. The area presents polluting emissions coming from transportation, (airport, cruises from/to Gioia Tauro, local and highway traffic), houses and agriculture in addition to the deposits of a natural particulate like Saharan sand, and volcanic particulate coming from the two active volcanoes in the Mediterranean (Stromboli and Etna situated 80 km west and around 200 km south-east of the measurement site respectively). Studying atmospheric circulation becomes particularly relevant in order to characterize variability of atmospheric composition, for researches regarding renewable (solar and wind) energy and for the coast characterization to prevent fires and erosion.

Description Mauna Kea ("White Mountain") is a dormant volcano on the island of Hawaii, the largest and southernmost of the Hawaiian Islands. It is located about 300 km (190 miles) from Honolulu, which lies on the island of Oahu. The highest point in the Pacific Basin, and the highest island-mountain in the world, Mauna Kea rises 9,750 meters (32,000 ft) from the ocean floor to an altitude of 4,205 meters (13,796 ft) above sea level, which places its summit above 40 percent of the Earth's atmosphere. The broad volcanic landscape of the summit area is made up of cinder cones on a lava plateau. The lower slopes of Mauna Kea are popular for hunting, hiking, sightseeing, and bird watching in an environment that is less hostile than the barren summit area. NDACC station: mwave

Description Niwot Ridge is located approximately 35 km west of Boulder, Colorado, with the entire study site lying above 3000 m elevation. There is a cirque glacier (Arikaree Glacier), extensive alpine tundra, a variety of glacial landforms, glacial lakes and moraines, cirques and talus slopes, patterned ground, and permafrost. The research area is bounded on the west by the Continental Divide, with runoff on the two sides being destined for the Colorado and Mississippi Rivers. The alpine study area is reached by an unimproved road from the Mountain Research Station (2895 m) which leads to within 2 km of the main tundra research site, the Saddle (3528 m). The D-1 research site (3739 m), for which climate records are continuous from 1952, lies a farther 3 km from the road head. The Martinelli study area (3380 m) is located 1 km southwest of the Saddle, in the forest-tundra ecotone. The Green Lakes Valley lies immediately south of the western half of Niwot Ridge. It includes the Arikaree Glacier at its head (3798 m), and the wetland, Green Lake 4, and Albion research sites. The Green Lakes Valley and Martinelli sites are all within the City of Boulder Watershed which is closed to public access. Niwot Ridge, including the main alpine study site, is part of the Roosevelt National Forest and has been designated a Biosphere Reserve (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, UNESCO) and an Experimental Ecology Reserve (USDA Forest Service). A context-sensitive topographic relief map can be used to access the scenic views of the areas indicated above, as well as several others. Topographic setting: Ridge top, but on south facing slope. Air samples have been taken here, in flasks, for NOAA CMDL since 1963. These flasks are analysed for the same compounds as at C1
