National Facilities
ACTRIS is the pan-European research infrastructure producing high-quality data and information on short-lived atmospheric constituents and on the processes leading to the variability of these constituents in natural and controlled atmospheres.
ACTRIS promotes the provision of access to a large variety of high-quality services to a wide range of users and needs, for scientific, technological and innovation-oriented usage.
ACTRIS core components are the National facilities, constituting in observatory and exploratory platoforms, and the Central Facilities, fundamental for the provision of harmonized high-quality data.

Intercomparison campaigns. Comparison with OPAR instruments that follow
ACTRIS protocols, in situ, remote sensing in mountain (Maïdo) conditions and
lidar, cloud radar and sun-sky-lunar photometer in urban (Moufia) conditions.
AVAILABILITY PERIOD: All year round, except 20/12 to 20/01 and 14/07 to 15/08
Specific experiments performed by using the available equipment at OPAR,
combined with external equipment if needed. For example: use of CCN and INP counters
AVAILABILITY PERIOD: All year round, except 20/12 to 20/01 and 14/07 to 15/08
USRL focuses on cost-effective UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) atmospheric applications (vertical profiling, 3D mapping, plume tracking) with miniaturized and lightweight atmospheric sensors fulfilling ACTRIS QA/QC and SOPs (e.g. Aerosol Number Size Concentration, Black Carbon Concentration).
CiGAS-CH provides remote access for the support of users of the @VOC@ tool, used for VOC data quality assessment.
