Abstract

Well placed and provided

<gmd:abstract>
<gco:CharacterString>
Time series of C14H10 (anthracene), in air measurements (type:POPs) at Global Atmosphere Watch station Matorova (station type: Global). Measurements are generated at an unknown interval. The measurement interval is unknown. The measurement method is GC-MS (details: (EBAS) FilterType='passive_puf' FilterRef='FI01L_NO01L_puf_36' (/EBAS)). Matorova is considered to be part of the global station Pallas-Sodankylä and lies six kilometres ENE of Sammaltunturi at an elevation of 340 m a.s.l. It is situated on top of a small hill covered by a coniferous forest. Special care was used when choosing the building materials for the station, so that the station is suitable for collecting samples for heavy metal, mercury and persistant organic pollutant analysis
