Training on how to perform  experiments in humid turbulent flows by experienced scientists as well as hands-on training on high-end and state-of-the-art instrumentation for characterizing turbulent flows, as well as thermodynamic and aerosol particle and droplet microphysical properties.

The service consists of:
·       Quality-assurance of physical and optical in-situ aerosol measurements achieved via instrument intercomparisons, calibration workshops, round-robin test and on-site intercomparisons
·       Capacity building to perform high-quality physical and optical in-situ aerosol characterization via on-site trainings and trainings in the calibration workshops

Estimated duration: There are special time slots for the workshops.

Long-time observation of Physical and chemical properties of aerosols combining online and offline measurements. Ground-based measurements can be completed with vertical measurements (ceilometer, LIDAR, …). 
In addition, the specific flight-restricted area over the station offers the possibility for UAVs, drones, and tethered balloon flights. 
The research site Melpitz can be used for research projects, measurement campaigns, intercomparison, and test facility for new instruments. 
 

LACIS-T provides the possibility of testing (new) instrumentation (e.g., velocity, temperature, humidity, as well as optical particle sensors) and to perform sensor intercomparisons under well-defined laboratory conditions. 
Existing standard operation procedures can be used for comparison of new with established instruments by the user.
