WUR Veenkampen meteorological and air quality observations

Dataset: WUR Veenkampen meteorological and air quality observations
title	WUR Veenkampen meteorological and air quality observations
description	Operationally, we measure meteorology, evaporation, CO2 exchange, soil variables and black carbon concentrations. Experimentally, we measure air quality concentrations and fluxes of NOx and NH3. The data documentation such as stream names, units and instrument type of the Veenkampen can be found in the Excelsheet at the website of https://maq-observations.nl/.

The Veenkampen site is located in the ‘Binnenveld’ area between Wageningen and Veenendaal. It’s grass on clay and peat is typical for the area. Its surroundings were converted from farmland into a wetland habitat since 2020. The Veenkampen site is a continuation of the former ‘Haarweg’ and ‘Duivendaal’ sites, which were reallocated because of city expansion. Together they are home to the world’s longest record of global radiation and others.

The Veenkampen site is both an operational and experimental site. The focus is on how CO2 and water exchange change with climate and particularly in extremes (droughts, heat waves). With respect to air quality, the site is a background location, without close traffic and industrial sources.

The site is operated by MAQ at Wageningen University. It is regularly used by other partners too (e.g. other WUR groups, RIVM).

Data from the original Haarweg station (1974 – 2012) is not available in the database and is available upon request via observations.maq@wur.nl.
