mace head atmospheric research station

Coordinator: Colin O'Dowd

Mace Head is a WHO Global Atmosphere Watch station and an EMEP atmospheric supersite. Mace Head is one of the FP6 EUSAAR (Integrating Infrastructure Initiative project) supersite facilities. It is host to many national and international research projects as well as being one of the most important station globally for monitoring long-term trends in climate and air quality indicators and products.

Recent developments at Mace Head are developing the station as an ocean-atmosphere supersite. Facilities include a full range of aerosol physics, chemistry and radiative measurements, CCN measurements aerosol optical dept, aerosol fluxes, greenhouse gases and CO2, ozone fluxes, CO2 fluxes, pCO2, wave radar, cloud radar, lidar and water vapour profiler.
