IAP 2—The Tower
Perhaps the best-known part of IAP is its 325-m meteorological tower. Here are some photos of it.
A plaque at the base of the tower, which dates from 1979.
A closer view of the base of the tower, showing the small elevator that is used to reach its various levels.
Here you can see the instrumentation. The tower has 15 levels of instruments, each about 20 meters apart. Two levels also sample gases and aerosols (80 m and 240 m). They are also sampled at 8 m on the roof of one of the buildings (see next page).
