Abstract

The outcome of the first tests of a measuring system designed for the monitoring of atmospheric aerosol and meteorological parameters is considered. Based on the measurement results from August 2022, the data of the system prototypes, a calibrated optical aerosol sensor, and the on-site meteorological station are compared. The revealed drawbacks of the system design are described. The plans to improve and extend the system capabilities are discussed. A blueprint of a future multipoint aerosol monitoring network in Yekaterinburg and its neighborhood is presented.
