Abstract:
|
The European Aerosol Research LIdar NETwork
(EARLINET) is an aerosol lidar network on a continental
scale. EARLINET is now a leading network in qualitycontrolled
quantitative aerosol profiling performing a
schedule of routine measurements and presently consists of
28 stations distributed over Europe. The construction of an
un-biased spatio-temporal database of vertical profiles of
aerosol optical properties on a regional scale for climate and
air quality research is the main objective of EARLINET and
is accomplished through application of Raman lidars. One
of the tasks in the EC-funded project EARLINET-ASOS is
to optimize individual instruments with the aim of homogenization
of aerosol data products over the network and increased
data coverage by automation. This task is approached
by selection of optimal solutions existing in the
pool of individual stations. This is done for components,
subsystems as well as for system integration. In system integration
emphasis lies on automation to reduce the amount of
manpower needed, to improve temporal coverage, and to
make performance independent from individual operators.
The procedure to perform these tasks is outlined and the set
of tools enabling the assessment of performance under development
is described. |
