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
The
Bondville Environmental and Atmospheric Research Site (BEARS) site is available for use by all researchers, as a service through
the State of Illinois and the University of Illinois-Champaign Urbana.
