European Center for Cloud Ambient Intercomparison
Location
The European Centre for cloud ambient intercomparison (ECCINT) is located at Mt. Hoher Sonnblick (3.106 m asl) at the Sonnblick Observatory in Austria. The centre on the alpine ridge is exposed and almost emission-free. The location is based within a national park key zone which implies strict environmental protection and a flight ban (especially for helicopters). Several measuring terraces can be used for campaigns.
ECCINT can be reached via a cable car having its valley station in Kolm-Saigurn (Kolmstraße 21, 5561 Kolm-Saigurn/Rauris).
Accomodation
Directly next to ECCINT accommodation is available at the Zittelhaus hut. Additional accommodation in the valley is possible but once must consider the trip with the cale car.
Cable Car
The cable car takes 12 minutes to reach ECCINT. The passenger cabin can carry 6 people. An additional carriage for material transport exists. Transporting large heavy instruments is a challenge, but possible with consultation and planning.
