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.

Data analysis and preparation of SBO data on specific issues, as well as graphical processing and reporting
TIME CONSTRAINTS: Depending on free resources and available lead time
Internship for students to become familiar with observatory operations and conduct their own small studies. Duration at least 2 weeks at the observatory.
TIME CONSTRAINTS: Winter, Summer
Short and long-term experimental Cal/Val campaigns at RADO premises, using RADO’s infrastructure and user’s own instrumentation. The infrastructure at RADO combines ACTRIS compliant aerosol remote sensing, cloud remote sensing and aerosol in-situ instrumentation, along with complementary measurements for meteorological parameters and radiation. Additional instruments from the users can be accommodated indoor or outdoor, as needed. Overflights with small research aircrafts possible.

Synergistic observation of aerosol and trace gases with in-situ and remote sensing techniques, meteorology and radiation (ICOS/INGOS/ACTRIS synergy); Intercomparisons with operational instruments (reporting data to worldwide networks and programmes as WMO-GAW, NDACC, etc); study of atmospheric composition in pristine conditions and with desert dust influences; support in specific campaigns to study atmosphere in remote high mountain conditions, for example to study NPF, desert dust aerosols, transatlantic transport, etc.
