11.5 The BEO Moussala and the National Institute
of Meteorology and Hydrology (NIMH) Data
Comparison between the BEO Moussala and the NIMH data (
http://www.
stringmeteo.com/synop/
) was implemented in order to validate the BEO Moussala
data. The monthly mean temperature and pressure data show total agreement
(Figs.
11.10
and
11.11
). The measurements of wind speed and wind direc-
tion at the peak Moussala are given in the Figs.
11.12
and
11.13
for 2008.
The differences occur due to various physical measuring methods. And
the relative humidity measurements at peak Moussala are shown in the
Fig.
11.14
.

11.6 Environmental and Ecotoxicological Investigations
at the Vicinity of BEO Moussala
Since 1990 the annual ecotoxicological studies at Rila Mountain are a part of
the scientific applied activity of BEO Moussala and have the aim to evaluate the
influence of the atmospheric pollution (chemical elements, radioactivity, etc.) on
the local environment, including biota, in the surrounding area of the observatory
station.
