The AUXMON (AUXiliary MONitoring) project aims at providing a continuous monitoring of auxiliary variables useful to support investigation of Arctic atmospheric composition, temperature, humidity. A small network of 4 AIRQino station is the core infrastructure of the project. Three of these stations are positioned outdoors, one (station id 266) is placed inside the italian base. Specifically, the AIRQino stations are low-cost sensors providing information about the concentration of CO2, gaseous pollutants, particulate matter, air temperature and relative humidity.

Continuous physical-chemical monitoring (1 measurement each 15 min) performed by a CTD probe and a turbidity sensor installed at the Bayelva river near the new bridge. Measurements are carried out during summer period, from the beginning of the melting season to beginning of autumn when the water start freezing.
