Plymouth (50.366 -4.148)
Prede POM 01
This site is located 250 m away from the shoreline, south of the city of Plymouth (pop. 250,000). No important sources of
anthropogenic pollution are found near the site, aside from the low traffic and other urban aerosols from the city.
The prevailing wind (southwesterly)tends to advect local urban pollution away from the site.
Main sources of local natural aerosols are expected to be the Atlantic Ocean (marine aerosols) and the surrounding countryside
rural aerosols).
