Mt. Cimone (44.18N, 10.70E, 2165 m a.s.l.) is the highest peak of the Italian northern Apennines and is characterised by a 360° free horizon. As being located South of the Alps and of the polluted Po basin, the observations of atmospheric composition conducted at this GAW-WMO station, provide useful information for evaluating the role of regional and long-range transport processes in modifying the tropospheric background conditions in the Mediterranean basin/Southern Europe. Moreover, this long-term monitoring activity helps in quantifying the existing trend of climate-altering substances and atmospheric pollutants (e.g. Maione et al., 2010).

Abstract
Mt. Cimone (44.18N, 10.70E, 2165 m a.s.l.) is the highest peak of the Italian northern Apennines and is characterised by a 360° free horizon. As being located South of the Alps and of the polluted Po basin, the observations of atmospheric composition conducted at this GAW-WMO station, provide useful information for evaluating the role of regional and long-range transport processes in modifying the tropospheric background conditions in the Mediterranean basin/Southern Europe. Moreover, this long-term monitoring activity helps in quantifying the existing trend of climate-altering substances and atmospheric pollutants (e.g. Maione et al., 2010).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
