<p>LOCATION: Italy, S. Pietro Capofiume (Bologna) <br />
The CMN-PV facility at S. Pietro Capofiume (50 km from Bologna) is located at the meteorological station “Giorgio Fea” which is owned by ARPAE Emilia-Romagna (43°21’N, 12°34’E, 11 m asl). <br />
 </p>

<p>Provision of a rural site platform for DOAS and MAX-DOAS measurements with focus on tropospheric and stratospheric composition and processes, intercomparison campaigns and satellite validation. <br />
The facility is equipped with in-situ near-surface monitoring of SO2, particulate matter sampling for atmospheric chemical speciation, speciation of non-refractory chemical species (by Aerosol Mass Spectrometer, AMS) and measurements of number concentration (by twin - DMPS in collaboration with the University of Kuopio and one OPS). A MAX-DOAS system (SkySpec-2D-210) is available at the station (NO2, SO2, HCHO, HONO, Glyoxal, BrO, IO, Ozone).<br />
Further observations will be implemented during 2022: physico-chemical-optical properties of both columnar aerosol population (sun photometry and lidar), near-surface aerosol scattering and absorption measurements, near-surface anthropogenic VOCs, SF6 and F-gases, radiative balance and albedo description (solar tracker equipped with radiometers for solar and thermal down-welling radiation).<br />
ARPAE Emilia-Romagna runs near-surface measurements of nitrogen oxides, ozone as well as meteo-radar measurements, radio soundings (at 00:00 and 12:00 UTC) and operates a phenological station. <br />
The facility is hosted in an air-conditioned shelter (15 m2) equipped with fast internet connection which allows for real-time data delivery and remote control of instrumentations. 5kW. Two sampling systems (ACTRIS-compliant) designed for trace gases and aerosol particles (respectively) are available at the station. Both the sampling systems are characterized by monitoring of T and RH with active control of air fluxes. Multiple inlets to the sampling systems are available for the external users (diameters: ¼” for trace gases and ¼”, ½ and ¾” for aerosol). Three quartz windows (one on the roof, two on the walls) are available for vertical and horizontal remote sensing observations. <br />
Support structures to research activities are available at the field station: a chemistry laboratory, wi-fi covering the entire area, distribution of electric current through specific towers in different locations of the field, a 10-m two-storey tower.</p>
