Located at the top of the Serra del Montsec, a calcareous mountain range in the Pre-Pyrenees,
in the foothills of the Pyrenees, northeast Spain. It is located beside the facilities of the Montsec Astronomic Observatory,
Montsec d’Ares (42° 3’5.95″N, 0°43’46.03″E, 1600 meters amsl), Lérida.

To get a time-series and interpret the spatial and temporal variability of physico-chemical and optical parameters of the tropospheric aerosols in remote areas in the Western Mediterranean.

[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item]

To study the aerosol formation and change processes in an environment with no local anthropogenic emissions influence.

[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item]

To identify the atmospheric PM sources, with special emphasis on the contribution from long range transport.

[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item]

To determine the main aerosol parameters for the development of radiative models (aerosol optical depth, single scattering albedo, aerosol asymmetry parameter, among others).

Most measurements are available since 2010, when the container was installed.
However, PMx levels and PM speciation measurements, obtained in the framework of the DAMOCLES project, are available since 2005.
