The Malin Head site is a Met Eireann Weather Observing Station situated on a well elevated site at about 22 m above mean sea level with a panoramic exposure to the North Atlantic off the north Donegal coast. Malin Head is a coastal station with a North Atlantic exposure profile similar in many respects to that encountered at Mace Head (MHD), with an oceanic clean sector having a more north westerly facing aspect. The dominant prevailing winds are reasonably uniformly spread over a sector stretching from westerlies to southerlies with lesser but significant occurrences from both northerly and easterly directions. The station has ample exposure to both clean background and polluted airflow's in a broad range of meteorological conditions.
