Atmospheric observations from Ground
Our aim is to monitor the atmospheric composition and its changes over time within the framework of the global network NDACC (Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change). The observations of this network are used for long-term climate monitoring, adhere to the highest quality standards and best practices and provide coherent independent measurements for the validation of satellite observations and reference data for climate and earth system models.
We are inviting to host any NDACC type of instruments and observations, such as Radiosondes, ECC ozone sondes, Brewer and Dobson spectrometers, UV and UV/VIS spectrometers (including TCCON instruments), LIDARs, and microwave radiometers.
Our initial observational capabilities are:
High resolution solar FTIR spectrometer
Low resolution EM27/SUN spectrometer (COCCON project)
Basic meteorological observations
Radiosonde programme (proposed)
