10. 4th International Workshop CHArMEx - the Chemistry-Aerosol Mediterranean Experiment But where are the data from these important campaigns ? Information from the 80s is almost totally lost – too bad We have lost the 90s as well – too bad Deriving trends for aerosol species requires >10yr continuous data – too bad
