The Regional CenterThe Regional Center is jointly managed by AEMET and the BSC-CNS. It is located in Barcelona, at BSC-CNS premises
Objetives of the Regional CenterLead the implementation and operation of an integrated system of observation and prediction Identify and improve observational and forecast products Promote the creation and improvement of observational networks in developing countries. Facilitate user access to information Create and maintain a website Create alternative systems tailored to users Build capacity of countries to use the products supplied
Integrated observational systemMonitor atmospheric dustValidate products from other observing systemsValidate and verify model predictionsData assimilation into numerical modelsGround-basedIn-situ (AQ monitoring stations)Indirect Observations: visibilitySun photometers (AERONET) Lidar, ceilometersSatellite-basedGEOLEO, MEOSpecific objectivesObserving systems
In-situ observations (AQ stations) Rural background stations Near-real-time data

Lidar - CeilometerAn elastic lidar and a ceilometer work following the same principle, butThe aim of LIDAR is to measure backscattering by molecules and aerosol.The aim of ceilometers is to measure backscattering by cloudsEARLINETPotenza, 26 June 2006Ceilometer CHM15kx (manufactured by JenOptik)
