Organized Citizen Visits at the Finokalia Station in Crete

Two open-doors events were organised at the Finokalia station in Crete.

The Finokalia atmospheric monitoring station is operated by the Environmental Chemical Processes Laboratory (ECPL) of the Department of Chemistry of the University of Crete since 1993. The station is representative for the Eastern Mediterranean atmosphere and has attracted strong scientific attention in the fields of atmospheric composition, air quality and climate change. It also reports to authorities as the regional background station for Greece.

People of all ages visited the Finokalia station and were welcomed by University of Crete personnel. Visitors were introduced to atmospheric measuring techniques and were presented briefly the achievements and main scientific findings.
