UNRAVELING EARTH’S GREENHOUSE GAS BALANCE WITH MEASUREMENTS

ICOS RI IS A PAN-EUROPEAN RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE WHICH PROVIDES HARMONIZED AND HIGH PRECISION SCIENTIFIC DATA ON CARBON CYCLE AND GREENHOUSE GAS BUDGET AND PERTURBATIONS. ICOS DATA IS OPENLY AVAILABLE AT THE CARBON PORTAL. THE CARBON PORTAL IS A ONE-STOP SHOP FOR ALL ICOS DATA PRODUCTS.

ICOS RI is an organisation of eight founding member countries and 100 greenhouse gases measuring stations aimed at quantifying and understanding the greenhouse gas balance of the Europe and neighbouring regions.

The European Commission has officially established ERIC ICOS – Integrated Carbon Observation System (Integrated Carbon Observation on), a new pan-European research infrastructure that aims to provide long term observations on greenhouse gases across Europe. The founding members of ICOS ERIC are eight: Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Finland (home of the ERIC), and Switzerland, which currently is part of the initiative as an observer.

The Italian contribution to ICOS is represented by numerous stations of observation and data collection in three components: the atmosphere (with the measurement sites of Monte Cimone, Lampedusa, Potenza and Plateau Rosa), ecosystems (with sites Castelporziano, Borgo Cioffi, Renon, Negrisia, Monte Bondone, Capodimonte, Arca, Bosco Fontana and Torgnon) and oceans (sites of Miramare, Paloma, E2M3A in Ardiatic Sea and W1M3A in the Tyrrhenian Sea).

The PON I-AMICA supported the realization of the forest stations of BOSCO DI CAPODIMONTE and BORGO CIOFFI.

Installed the Raman lidar systems of I-AMICA at the profiling stations of Lecce, Naples and Lamezia Terme

Following calibration and optimization of three Raman lidar systems performed at the Institute IMAA – CNR of Potenza (one of the reference sites for the network EARLINET -http: //www.earlinet.org), in the second half of December 2014 lidar systems have been installed in the profiling stations of Naples, Lecce and Lamezia Terme, as planned in the Objective 1.2 which provided for the purchase of the three Raman lidar for measuring the aerosol backscatter and extinction coefficients and the ratio of depolarization in the UV.

Calibration of the three Raman lidar systems of I-AMICA at the institute IMAA – CNR of Potenza

cnrbologna cnrbologna — Fri, 21 Nov 2014 12:04:40 +0000

Three depolarization Raman Lidars for the measurement of the aerosol backscatter and extinction coefficient and for the determination of the aerosol linear depolarization ratio in the UV are in calibration and optimization phase at the IMAA – CNR, one of the reference site for EARLINET network – http://www.earlinet.org. The calibration will be done by making the quality assurance tests defined within EARLINET and by making correlative measurements with the reference EARLINET system MUSA (MUltiwavelength System for Aeorosl) operational at the IMAA (http://www.ciao.imaa.cnr.it).

The lidars will be installed in Napoli, Lecce and Lamezia Terme at the beginning of December. This activity is carried out in the framework of the OR1.2
