In-Depth Information
The study of mountain ecosystems simultaneously with the atmospheric and
meteorological data measured at BEO Moussala gives the possibility for complex
evaluation of the present condition of the mountain environment.
11.7 Conclusion
The peak Moussala is an important reference point for anthropogenic influence
assessment in the large South-East European region. BEO Moussala is a facility
with modern infrastructure for scientific investigations. Data for 38 parameters are
stored for real-time retrieval, retrospective analyses and modelling.
The BEO Moussala is a complex research facility and data quality issue remains
a main task which needs persistent and continuous efforts from many institutions.
The devices for cosmic rays research, the AWS, the gas and aerosol measurement
systems allow carrying out precise study of the atmosphere parameters and cosmic
rays. The connection between the atmospheric events and the cosmic ray flux is
prospective field for investigation.
The ecosystems at peak Moussala vicinity are observed for possible local and
remote pollution influences.
The BEO Moussala information system including the measurement systems, the
high frequency telecommunication system and the database can be used in situ or
by remote access of the international scientific community.
The BEO Moussala has a long tradition as a high-mountain scientific facility and
its future mostly depends on the process of scientific collaboration and integration
in the global research area.
