2.6.24.1. Introduction

Marylebone Road (MR) is a LUMA site in London borough of the City of Westminster. It has had a Ceilometer stationed there since 2011. The site is part of the London Air Quality network so stations an array of air quality monitoring equipment, administered by the Environmental Research Group at Imperial College London.
