Abstract
Mondy station (51° 39′ N, 100° 55′ E, 2010 m above sea level) is located in the mountain ranges near the borderline of Russia-Mongolia in Eastern Siberia. The station is part of the astrophysics laboratory operated and maintained by the Limnological Institute of Russia Academy of Sciences, Siberian Branch. There are no cities within the 300 km radius from Mondy except small villages which are spread thinly all over the region. The nearest village to the station is Mondy village which is located downhill at 720 m elevation in a distance of 12 km away and has a population of about 7000. This area can be considered as one of the more thinly populated areas of the world. No major man-made pollutants, neither from point sources nor mobile sources, has been found to strongly affect this area. Thus, the Mondy station can be regarded as one of the first true continental remote stations for monitoring background atmospheric trace components in an unpolluted region of East Asia. Measurement of O3 at Mondy has been conducted continuously since October 1996 whereas CO measurements have been carried out from March 1997.
