| Zusammenfassung |
Since the nineties, atmospheric measurement systems have been deployed at
Reunion Island, mainly for monitoring the atmospheric composition in the
framework of NDSC/NDACC (Network for the Detection of Stratospheric Change/Network for
the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change). The location of Reunion
Island presents a great interest because there are very few
multi-instrumented stations in the tropics and particularly in the southern
hemisphere. In 2012, a new observatory was commissioned in Maïdo at
2200 m above sea level: it hosts various instruments for atmospheric
measurements, including lidar systems, spectro-radiometers and in situ gas
and aerosol measurements.
This new high-altitude Maïdo station provides an
opportunity:
1. to improve the performance of the optical instruments above the marine
boundary layer, and to open new perspectives on upper troposphere and lower stratosphere studies;
2. to develop in situ measurements of the atmospheric composition for climate
change surveys, in a reference site in the tropical/subtropical region of the southern hemisphere;
3. to offer trans-national access to host experiments or measurement campaigns for focused process studies. |
