* SHIPPING ADDRESS<br>
* There is a regional train line ('Linea de Cercanias C2 de RENFE') from downtown Barcelona to a station near the site (Palautordera is the closest station, or Sant Celoni is also nearby) [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=BV-5301&daddr=41.718719,2.429094&hl=es&geocode=FXzeewIdxnwlAA%3B&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=16&sll=41.71369,2.428901&sspn=0.011805,0.019312&ie=UTF8&ll=41.678553,2.472267&spn=0.188984,0.30899&z=12 This map shows the path from the Palautordera train station to the house where we will be staying (Can-Marc)]
 
* We will be staying at [http://www.agroturisme.org/casa.php?id=canmarc Can-Marc Rural Hostel]. There is free wifi at the hostel.
 
 
 
* The best mobile phone and mobile internet coverage is with "Movistar". Those of you with a GSM phone can buy a SIM card to get in their network.
 
* There is a landline at the site, it may be possible to dial-up to the internet from there (free dialup in Spain: [http://www.gonuts4free.com/ Gonuts4free])
 
* People's contact info
 
** Jose's Cell phone: 606-781-823
 
* Lodging
 
** For the Montseny site we will stay at a house in a nearby village. It has Wifi internet.
 
 
 
* The last stretch of road to the Montseny site is still in bad shape (it would be dangerous for a regular car). Andres says (3-Feb) that they have been promised that it will be repaired, but they are not sure how complete those will be. Andres has reserved a 4x4 vehicle for the whole period, and they are trying to get two more. With those it would probably be enough, with a car staying at Montseny and another one going back and forth to Barcelona, plus a third for flexibility.

* Science Dates: Feb 23 to Mar 27
+
* Water, power, beds, a basic lab and plenty of space are available at the rural site house. Unfortunately the phone landline has been cut and cannot be repaired in time for the study.
 +
* The local electrician which has worked at the site is Joan Ortega, 608-69-13-21. He has worked most directly with Andres Alastuey of CSIC, but we can call him directly in case of electrical problems.
 +
* The best mobile phone and mobile internet coverage at the rural site is with "Telefonica / Movistar". Those of you with a GSM phone can buy a SIM card to get in their network.
 +

 +
* There is free (very basic) accomodation with small bunk beds, if you bring sheets and a blanket or a sleeping bag. There is heating and a fireplace but this can not be used to avoid emissions, we also cannot cook. We may bring electric heaters and adventurous folks could stay overnight at the site.

* Accomodation
 
 
 
We recommend booking a.s.a.p accomodation at vthe following residence:
 
 
 
Residencia Torre Girona
 
 
 
Passeig dels Til•lers, 19
 
 
 
08034 Barcelona

E-mail: torregirona@resa.es
 
 
 
Price of a single room:
 
 
 
1 month: 652 Euros (room only, without breakfast, you will have a small kitchen in the rrom) + 75 Euros contract for 2008. Additional fees: 12+35 Euros for water and electricity consumption
 
IMPORTANT: WHEN BOOKING PLEASE MENTION THAT THE BOOKING IS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF 'DAURE'
 
PRICES ARE MUCH REDUCED BECAUSE WE GET THE RATES FOR UPC UNIVERSITY STAFF, OTHERWISE IT IS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE.

Location:
 
[http://www-ma2.upc.es/~hurtado/maparesidenciaTorreGirona.pdf]
 
 
 
At Montseny there is free (very basic) accomodation if you bring sheets and a blanket or a sleeping bag.
 
The rural house has central heating and a fireplace but this can not be used. We will get electric heaters. Telephone, water, power, beds, a basic lab, some offices and a kitchen will be available. We are trying to get internet there but this may be not possible. Cellular phones from Movistar get service there but Vodafone dont.
 
 
 
The main problem at Montseny is the access road (gravel / rock) which can be difficult, especially in case of snow.
 
 
 
Normal cars may have difficulties in travelling across this track.
 
 
 
Closest vilages to Montseny site are: Santa María de Palautordera and Sant Esteve de Palautordera. Restaurants and accomodation are available also overthere. Montseny is 1.5 h driving from Barcelona and 20 min from the above villages.
 
 
 
== Issues to deal with ==
 
* Eiko Nemitz, email of 26-Nov-2007: "I would be interested to investigate the possibility to measure NH3 and HNO3 also. Modelling of NH4NO3 is still a major uncertainty in the European regional models, including the EMEP model. We could potentially loan a simple rotating wet denuder which fills hourly samples into test tubes for subsequent laboratory analysis for NH4+ and anions (HNO3, HCl, SO2). However, this would require laboratory analysis of 24 x 30 samples + some blanks for each month by some local lab. Is there a chance for the Spanish ministry to support this measurement?"
 
 
 
* Check water supply MSY
 
 
 
* Verifying power at MSY_2
 
 
 
* Rent a container for instruments and computers at BCN_2 (may be not needed if PSI brings trailer)
 
  
 +
* Will there be analysis of tracers and NMR? (asked PSI on 16-Feb)
 
* 2 mobile units fro AQ monitoring booked at local AQ agency, but may be not needed if CSIC's cabins are equipped with instruments for gaseous pollutants (in progress).
 
* 2 mobile units fro AQ monitoring booked at local AQ agency, but may be not needed if CSIC's cabins are equipped with instruments for gaseous pollutants (in progress).
 
* Booking 2 cars at CSIC for 15 Feb to 27 de March
 
 
* May be it is necessary to rent a pick up for transporting aerodyne to MSY
 
 
* CSIC does not has SMPS systems, solutions for this. May be we may buy DMA-Electrometrefrom TSI UFIPOLNET?????????
 
 
* Denuders fro OC for partisol: nned to build 2 of them
 
 
* Interesting having Radon measurements from UPC?
 
 
* Internet MSY
 
 
* AERODYNE Mini-AMS (50% possibilities)check if possible
 
 
* CLARKSON UNIVERSITY: Real time sulfate????? chek if possible
 
 
* CIEMAT: Nitrate, OC and EC real time check if possible
 
 
* GRANADA UNIVERSITY Column aerosol measurement instrumentation (CIMEL and others) check availability

Anyone involved in the campaign can add information directly, but due to problems with Spam you do need to login (and create an account if you don't have one already). You can also email Jose with any information and he can add it quickly to the site.

Location and Logistics of Rural (Montseny) Site

  • The rural site will be in the Montseny National park, this map has a general relation of the site with Barcelona
  • Closest vilages to Montseny site are: Santa María de Palautordera and Sant Esteve de Palautordera. Restaurants and accomodation are available also overthere. Montseny is 1.5 h driving from Barcelona and 20 min from the above villages.
  • Water, power, beds, a basic lab and plenty of space are available at the rural site house. Unfortunately the phone landline has been cut and cannot be repaired in time for the study.
  • The local electrician which has worked at the site is Joan Ortega, 608-69-13-21. He has worked most directly with Andres Alastuey of CSIC, but we can call him directly in case of electrical problems.
  • The best mobile phone and mobile internet coverage at the rural site is with "Telefonica / Movistar". Those of you with a GSM phone can buy a SIM card to get in their network.
  • It is possible to get internet access with a USB modem over the cell phone network, however cell phone coverage varies and doesn't always work.
  • We have explored satellite internet but it is expensive (3000 euros for 1 yr or 6000 euros for 3 yrs) so we are not planning on having it
  • There is free (very basic) accomodation with small bunk beds, if you bring sheets and a blanket or a sleeping bag. There is heating and a fireplace but this can not be used to avoid emissions, we also cannot cook. We may bring electric heaters and adventurous folks could stay overnight at the site.
  • We will be staying at Can-Marc Rural Hotel. There is free wifi at the hotel and a restaurant that can provide breakfast and dinner.
    • Rooms are 50 Euros/night for a single or 25 for a shared room. Dinner is 15 Euros/person; Breakfast is 4 Euros
  • The last stretch of road to the Montseny site is still in bad shape (it would be tricky for a regular car). The plan is to have a 4x4 car there all the time, and use a second one to go daily from Barcelona as detailed in this spreadsheet
  • AMS spares from Eiko: spare V301; spare V301 controller (need to check); spare filaments; spare servo; spare chopper motor (need to check); 2 spare MCPs (kept under vacuum in ante-chamber); spare pinholes.
