Experimental measurements at the meteorological observatory Milešovka
Pešice, Petr
The Milešovka Observatory was established in 1905 and has since been continuously performing standard meteorological and climatological\nobservations and measurements that are the primary mission of the station.\nMilešovka but like Lysá hora or other mountain observatory attracts experimentalists whether thanks to their exposed\nlocation and harsh weather conditions, frequent occurrence of strong winds, low cloud cover,\nor the abundant occurrence of storms and atmospheric discharges. The Milešov Measure Report summarizes current and planned experiments conducted at the Observatory.

History of the Milešovka observatory
Zacharov, Petr, jr.
The mountain station, ie a station with an altitude above 500 m, with the longest continuous series of measurements in our territory\nis the meteorological station on Milesovka mountain. The station began its activity on January 1, 1905, and the length of its measurement\nis one of the longest serving mountain stations not only in our country but also in the world. The unique location of Milešovka Station is its location\non top of a conical mountain at an altitude of 837 m. This unique location is a prerequisite for the\nhave a similar character to the ambient atmosphere.

Comparison of chemical composition of throughfall and deposited precipitation
Chaloupecký, Pavel ; Špičková, Jitka ; Fišák, Jaroslav ; Skřivan, Petr
Since June 2004 throughfall samples in beech and spruce vegetation have been taken at the observatory Milesovka. Ever since 1998 fog water samples have been taken there as well. In this paper are compared the concentrations of main ions and trace elements in throughfall and in deposited precipitation. The concentrations of main ions and trace elements in throughfal are primarily affected by the volume of samples. The highest concentrations of monitored sustances in throughfall were recorded in September and in October when the lowest rainfall totals were measured. The concentrations of monitored sustances were in throughfall mostly higher in spruce vegetation in comparison with beech vegetation. It is probably due to the thicker treetop in spruce vegetation on Milesovka observatory. Due to the thicker treetop a smaller volume of throughfall is let fall and the substances from ambient air are captured more effectively in comparison with beech vegetation. In the case of main ions the lowest concentrations were measured in fog water samples. For trace elements wasn´t data. From comparison with reference locality Lesni potok is obvious that concentrations of monitored sustances in throughfall on Milesovka exceed sharply concentrations in locality Lesni potok. This difference is considerably higher by spruce vegetation in comparison to beech vegetation which indicate that it is necessary take not only local air quality into account but also type of vegetation and thick of treetop which can very significantly contribute to the chemical composition of throughfall.
