Description:
This report contains atmospheric measurements data at high elevation sites in the eastern United States. easurements made in 1987 from May to October are included for O3, SO2, NO2 cloud water content, cloud chemistry and H202. istorical data from other sites are included for comparison purposes and well as data on climatic variables. ites at Mt. Mitchell, N.C. Shenandoah, VA, Whitetop, VA, Whiteface Mt., NY, Mt. Moositauke, NH and Howland Maine form the Mountain Cloud Chemistry Project.The MCCP is sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as part of the joint U.S. Forest Service-EPA Spruce-Fir Research Cooperative. he primary objective of the MCCP is to characterize the exposure of montane forested ecosystems to atmospheric inputs. he high elevation forests of the eastern United States are of particular interest because of reported declines in the populations of red spruce and balsam fir trees at selected locations through out the Appalachian Mountains.
