To set-up and operate at the Cabauw site an observational facility with a comprehensive set of remote sensing and in-situ equipment to characterize the state of the atmosphere, its radiative properties and interaction with the land surface, for the study of physical and chemical processes, climate monitoring and validation studies.
Within CESAR many ground-based instruments will be operated at the Cabauw observatory. The site will be unique in Europe in its overall capabilities. Only few sites exist around the world that comprise a similar suite of instruments.
The CESAR site will be used for:
- Monitoring of long term tendencies in atmospheric changes
- Studies of atmospheric processes
- The development of new measurement techniques
- Validation of space-based observations
- Training of young scientists at post-doc, PhD and master level
|
Furthermore, CESAR will serve as a:
- Permanent bridge between universities and research institutes
- Reference station in international projects and networks
- Facility for visiting (inter)national research groups
