Lower Camp Met Tower (AMS 3)

This station was originally part of the air monitoring network operated by Suncor Energy Ltd. The station is the orange building in the photo, it contained analyzers that continuously measured SO2, H2S, and THC. Due to proximity to an unsuitable microclimate, the continuous analyzers were moved to a new station (Station 11) located nearby. The meteorological tower is still operating at Station 3 in the original location.

The lower portion of a tower that is 167 m high is also shown in the panoramic. At heights of 20 m, 45 m, 100 m, and 167 m there are sets of instruments that measure temperature, horizontal wind speed and direction, and vertical wind speed.
