Abstract
At the Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis of the National Research Council (CNR-IMAA) we have completed step 1 of the labelling for the new ICOS-compliant atmosphere Class 1 Continental POT station and we are setting up the station to start step 2. The ICOS station consists of a 100 m tower with three sampling levels (100, 50, and 10 m, each one with its own meteorological station) and a ceilometer at the basement. The atmosphere POT station has been labelled as Class 1 because the maximum number of parameters required by ICOS will be measured (including CO2, CO, CH4, N2O, H2O). The annexed shelter, in fact, is equipped with the continuous analyzers (PICARRO G2401, LGR, 222Rn analyzer) and the gas samplers (automatic flask sampler, Heidelberg CO2 sampler for radiocarbon analysis)[1]. Furthermore, CNR-IMAA runs CIAO (CNR IMAA Atmospheric Observatory), one of the largest ground-based remote-sensing station in the Mediterranean Basin and in Europe. The complexity of the observatory allows ICOS measurements to be integrated with aerosol lidar profiling, cloud remote sensing, aerosol in- situ and radiosounding observations made at CIAO. aerosol lidar and in-situ observations, cloud remote sensing and radiosounding.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
