Monitoring of the atmospheric aerosol optical characteristics at the IAP ground-based station, Kishinev(Moldova)

Abstract

Results of long-term measurements of aerosol optical and microphysical properties at the IAP’s ground-based solar radiation monitoring station for the period of observations from 2004 to 2016 are presented. In 2003 for the first time in Moldova the IAP’s ground-based station (47.0013oN, 28.8156oE; 205 m a.s.l.) for monitoring solar radiation, aerosol optical properties and total ozone content was created [1]. The station was registered in the Global Atmosphere Watch Station Information System (GAW SIS) as a Regional fixed station in WMO RA VI– Europe.
