ABSTRACT A research site for atmospheric chemistry and air pollution measurements was established at Pinnacle State Park in Addison, NY, in 1995. This paper presents an overview of the site characteristics and measurement program, as well as monthly average concentrations for many of the trace gas and aerosol pollutants over the full measurement period. Monthly averaged ozone concentrations range from values as. low as 15 parts per billion (ppb) during cold-season months, to values approaching 50 ppb during some spring and summer months. Sulfur dioxide ([SO.sub.2]), oxides of nitrogen ([NO.sub.x]) and reactive odd nitrogen ([NO.sub.y]) all show distinct seasonal variation, with summertime monthly averages as low as 1-3 ppb, and wintertime monthly averages...
