Laboratory coordinated by Lect. Dr. Gabriela Iorga

It is integrated into the AERONET worldwide network and is located on the shore of the Black Sea to provide data from this region. The measured data is automatically transmitted to the AERONET headquarters in Lyon.




Device for measuring the height of clouds from their base and for  determination of the aerosols’ concentration.
 
 
 
 
                                                  
           
Device for measuring the distribution and concentration of particles in the atmosphere.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Suspension analyzer
Sampling pump for particles in suspension (aerosol) with sizes between 2.5 and 10 μm, with variable flow rate of 2-3 l/h. PM2.5, PM10 concentrations are determined by gravity with a precision of ~10ppm. Contains quartz filters




 

DUST-TRACK  It is an optical device for determining the concentrations of suspensions with dimensions of 1, 2.5 and 10 μm (PM1, PM2.5 and PM10)

 

 

 

 

GASMET DX-4015 FTIR  portable gas analyzer based on FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) spectroscopy

 

 

 

Portable gas analyzer ‘Multigas’ type Allows the on-site determination of CO, NO2, SO2 concentrations in the air in real time, with a very good accuracy of ~10ppm.

 

 

 

Air pollutant gas analysis system

 

 

 

Automatic Weather Station Allows measurements of several meteorological parameters: temperature, relative humidity, specific humidity, global radiation, amount of precipitation, wind speed and direction. The software also allows the calculation of other physical quantities as well as various graphic representations.

 

 

 

 

Fixed automatic station and portable station for measuring global solar radiation, reflected radiation and albedo

 

 

 

 

 

Aerosol sampling system with granulometric separation, which allows the simultaneous sampling of 8 samples in the range 0.06 – 16 µm (low-pressure cascade impactor Berner: 0.06/0.125/0.25/0.50/1.0/2.0/ 4.0/8.0/16.0 µm, flow rate 30 l/min)
