Symposium on Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics at Mountain Sites. Interlaken, Switzerland, 8-10 June 2010. Aerosol samples were collected using an aethalometer (AE31) from 15 July 2001 to the present at the Pico Mountain site in Pico island, Azores, Portugal (38.470ºN; 28.404ºW and 2225 m above mean see level). The aethalometer was setup to integrate the aerosol samples for 24 h period for most of the cases, with the exception of the period between July 2002 and July 2003 were it was leaved to change the integration sample spot only after 75% attenuation level.
