Namur Lake Air Monitoring Station

Namur Lake Air Monitoring Station (AMS) is an off-grid station operated by Fort McKay First Nation. It continuously measures hourly air concentrations of air pollutants and meteorology. Since the AMS receives power from solar panels, it's currently unable to operate in winter months when there is sufficient solar energy to power the station. Although efforts are made to collect data in adherence with Alberta's Air Monitoring Directive (e.g., monthly calibrations), it is not always possible given the remoteness of the AMS.
