Which station has longest continuous time series of aerosol related observations?

By
Sometime I wonder are there any questions left which Google can not answer? Today I stumble upon one such question, when I was just curious to know which station is oldest running station for aerosol related observations? I know in Barrow,Alaska and South Pole, CMDL is monitoring AOD since 1977. But don't know whether these are the oldest stations. And what about black carbon, surface size distribution, PM10, scattering coefficient. I guess one can expect to get long-time series for PM10 at least.

Let us compile the list. Leave the name of station and time period in comment, you know for aerosol related obs. are being made from the station.

I know its been a pretty long time since this post, but I don't know if a list of existing aerosol facilities around the world can be of use somehow. As an intern I researched the capabilities of existing aerosol facilities and what we must understand to create more accurate climate models... the document is here (no dates though): https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4Wha8Uh-zcwOTA4M2NkOWMtNWM0OS00NDE5LWI4MzctMDBiOWY0ZmUxZGYw

Air pollution (both gas and particle) in Chinese mega cities is one of the biggest growing problems due to rapid increase in industrial activities in the area. A review article on air pollution in China entitled “ Air pollution in mega cities in China ” by Chan and Yao is published in January 2008 issue of Atmospheric Environment . This article provides through review of available literature on air pollution research in China and focused areas are Beijing, Shanghai, and the Pearl River Delta region. Here, I am providing some highlights of the article. Please refer original article for more details. "Air pollution has become one of the top environmental concerns in China. Currently, Beijing, Shanghai, and the Pearl River Delta region including Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and their immediate vicinities are the most economically vibrant regions in China.” “ Air quality in most Chinese cities has improved despite the rapid growth of the economy…, however… He et al. (2001) and Y...
