SERVICE DESCRIPTION |
Campaigns organized by local research group at urban (UGR) and mountain (SNS, CP) stations for research in aerosol-cloud interaction based on synergistic combination of remote sensing and in-situ techniques. External research groups are invited to bring their own equipment (remote sensing or in situ) in order to get completeness in the essential variables (check AGORA equipment list) |
