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
Testing / intercomparisons of new instruments (inorganic and organic, gas-phase and particulate pollutants)
TIME CONSTRAINTS: None in general. Coordination and planning in advance needed for the transportation of the facility.
It is a mobile facility.
Conduction of wind Lidar measurements, data processing
TIME CONSTRAINTS: Depending on the availability of instrumentation
The Sonnblick Observatory has a cable car that covers 1,500 meters in altitude between the valley and the mountain. The cable car can be used for measuring profiles.
TIME CONSTRAINTS: No operation during thunderstorms
