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.

All air quality monitoring data displayed on this site by the Wood Buffalo Environmental Association is directly from monitoring equipment output signals. Displayed data is generally indicative of ambient conditions, however, it has not been reviewed, validated, nor processed for baseline drift and other fluctuations by qualified technicians. Final processed and validated data values may vary from values displayed on this site. A displayed value of 'n/d' indicates air monitoring data is not available at the corresponding time due to scheduled maintenance and/or instrument calibration. Charted data is locked to the range of the analyzer by default, and can be unlocked by the appropriate control.
