Description

Observational platform, mountain site in the foothills of the Alps. The Hohenpeissenberg observatory is located on top of a solitaire hill that rises approx. 300 m above the almost flat to rolling landscape, 30 km north of the Alps and approx. 60 km southwest of Munich. Main land uses are forests and meadows.

Scientific scope

global GAW station since 1995
long term monitoring of atmospheric composition
process understanding of atmospheric chemistry under climate change
