150 lidars units deployed
Polarisation Lidar for Aerosol Research and advisory system (N2 Raman option)
Potential contribution to GALION
Hdf Format, compatible with MPLNET format.
We promote the continuous vertical monitoring and give new customers a contact to main research networks (ex. Juëlich, RISOE, ETZH in Europe, Hongkong , NPL India and Indoniesan Met bureau for 7’seas )
Participate to QA effort for the ALS
Specific support for some stations (but not permanent, will need extra funding)
Providing ezsunphotometer coupling software for a better calibration
