ACTRIS Sweden stations

Starting 2017, the two previous ACTRIS sites in Sweden (Vavihill and Aspvreten) moved their ACTRIS operations to co-locate with ICOS Sweden at Hyltemossa and Norunda. ACTRIS Sweden is currently setting up activities at the ICOS Sweden sites at Svartberget and Östergarnsholm. 

Data from the ACTRIS Sweden stations are reported to the ACTRIS Data Portal database, where it is freely accessible.
