Ilmumiskoht

Ilmumiskoht is a Finnish term that appears infrequently in discussions of atmospheric research and environmental monitoring. It is used to refer to the specific location where air-related measurements are taken or observations of the atmospheric environment are conducted. In practice, ilmumiskoht can denote sensor sites within air-quality networks, meteorological stations, or temporary field locations used during research campaigns.

Etymology and form: The word appears to be a compound built from elements related to air, such as ilma or ilm-, and the word kohta, meaning point or place. The combination yields a plausible reading of “air point” or “air-measurement point.” The exact attestation of ilmumiskoht is limited, and it is largely a technical neologism rather than a standardized dictionary entry.

Usage and context: Because ilmumiskoht is not a widely standardized term, Finnish researchers typically prefer more established expressions such as mittauspaikka (measurement site) or havaintopaikka (observation point) depending on the context. When ilmumiskoht is used, it generally appears in technical writings related to atmospheric science, environmental monitoring networks, or data collection planning.
