Bondville Environmental and
Atmospheric Research Site (BEARS)
For almost three decades, the Illinois State Water Survey has continuously monitored the rural atmosphere in Champaign County, Illinois. Many research projects are currently operating here, and include monitoring of:
- basic air quality
(sulfur dioxide, ozone, particulate, organics) - precipitation chemistry
(major ions and cations, mercury, event based longer term) - long-term climate
(a long term National Weather Service site) - on-site meteorology
(wind velocity, air and soil temperatures, dew points, pressure, radiation, etc.) - atmospheric visibility
- solar physics
- continuous particulate monitoring using chromatographic methods
