ICOS Hungary
ICOS Hungary network consists of one Atmosphere Class 2 station, Hegyhátsál. The instrumentation in this station, established in 1993, is mounted on a 117 m tall TV/radio transmitter tower owned by Antenna Hungária Corporation. ICOS Hungary activities are coordinated by the HUN-REN Institute for Nuclear Research (HUN-REN ATOMKI) that has a long tradition on environmental monitoring.
The main goal of ICOS Hungary is to expand the geographical coverage of the ICOS network towards the east. As Hungary is located in the zone of westerlies winds in Europe, adding measurement stations east of the existing ICOS network may significantly reduce the uncertainty of the continental atmospheric budget models.
ICOS Hungary consortium consists of five institutions: HUN-REN Institute for Nuclear Research (HUN-REN ATOMKI), Eötvös Loránd University, HungaroMet, Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the HUN-REN Institute of Earth Physics and Space Science (HUN-REN EPSS).
