Scope of project
ACTRIS (Aerosols, Clouds, and Trace gases Research Infrastructure Network) is a European Project aiming at integrating European ground-based stations equipped with advanced atmospheric probing instrumentation for aerosols, clouds, and short-lived gas-phase species. ACTRIS will have the essential role to support building of new knowledge as well as policy issues on climate change, air quality, and long-range transport of pollutants.
In this project we are involved in the
In this project we are involved in the
- exchange of expertise (e.g. discussing new ideas and concepts and facilitating ways for training and providing critical insight to young scientists)
- quality assurance (e.g. direct lidar system inter-comparisons against approved reference systems)
- improvement of in-situ aerosol observations (e.g. integration and harmonization of aerosol measurements in Europe, implementation of the standardized protocols)
- provide transnational access (TNA) to the high alpine research station Jungfraujoch (ACTRIS offers opportunities to researchers to access other research facilities)
