Fort McKay (AMS 1)
The Fort Mckay Station is located near the northwest corner of the Fort McKay Water Treatment Plant. This station was built in the fall of 1997 and replaced a nearby station operated by Alberta Environmental Protection.
The Fort McKay station contains analyzers that continuously measure SO2, TRS, THC, O3, NO, NO2, NOx, PM2.5, global radiation, leaf wetness, humidity, wind speed and direction, and the temperature at a height of 2 m and 10 m. A tipping bucket rain gauge measures precipitation during the summer. Non-continuous measurement devices include a PM10, VOC's, chemical analysis of precipitation, semi-volatile organic compounds and several passives.
