A spatially distributed climate change research infrastructure was constructed in the Czech Republic in the last years under the CzechGlobe project, including the Atmospheric Station (AS) Křešín u Pacova. The AS was established next to the Košetice Observatory, central Czech Republic, operated since 1988 by the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute. The AS is assigned the function of a National Monitoring Point of greenhouse gases, air quality and meteorological parameters. The AS consists mainly of a 250 m tall atmospheric tower built in 2013 primarily for scientific purposes following ICOS recommendations. The most important research and monitoring activity of the AS is the long-term measurement of greenhouse gases and their exchange dynamics under ICOS. Measurement data will also be provided to the InGOS (Integrated non-CO2 Greenhouse Gas Observing System) project. Other important research and monitoring activities include investigations on the impact of atmospheric aerosols on global climate change processes conducted under the ACTRIS (Aerosols, Clouds, and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure Network) project, investigation of the vertical concentration gradient and long-range transport of atmospheric mercury (GMOS, Global Mercury Observation System) and tropospheric ozone and also the provision of data to other national and international databases (ISKO, EMEP, GAW).
