Abstract
|
In the framework of the SusKat (Sustainable Atmosphere for the Kathmandu Valley), ABC-UNEP, SHARE and NextData Projects,
CNR-ISAC and URT Ev-K2-CNR participated in the setting-up of the Kathmandu (Pakanajol) monitoring station. In particular,
the station is equipped with:
• meteorological sensors;
• global pyranometer for downward solar short-wave radiation;
• surface ozone analyzer;
• optical particle counter for aerosol size distribution from 0.3 to 10 micron;
• on-line PM1/PM10 analyser ;
• multi-angle absorption photometer for equivalent black carbon mass measurement.
|
Purpose
|
The aim of this air quality and climatic urban station will provide complementary information to that of the NCO-P GAW-WMO
Global Station, thus representing a reliable reference point for typical urban (and polluted) conditions in the Himalaya
foothills, increasing basic knowledge on air pollution in the Kathmandu valley and its possible recirculation to the Himalayas
and the free troposphere.
