Cameras are used at a number of IMPROVE monitoring sites to monitor the
scene. Images from monitoring sites with over five years of data where
selected to capture the range or "spectrum" of visual conditions at
each site. This web page provides access to these photographs for each
site. In addition, these photographs have been archived on CD-ROMs.
