FAIRsharing record for: ACTRIS-ARES Aerosol REmote Sensing Data Centre node

This FAIRsharing record describes: ARES (Aerosol Remote Sensing) is the ACTRIS (Aerosol, Cloud and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure) Data Centre unit for aerosol remote sensing profiling. ACTRIS-ARES host and manage the ACTRIS-EARLINET database, that represents a comprehensive, quantitative, and statistically significant collection of data for the aerosol distribution on European scale. ARES provides data curation, data processing and data access services for ACTRIS aerosol remote sensing data coming from lidar and photometer observations. Additionally, ARES hosts and manage the EARLINET web site and offers data services and digital tools to EARLINET and beyond. Major objectives also include the development and validation of new synergetic remote sensing algorithms, and the continuous evaluation of the representation of atmospheric aerosol parameters in climate and weather forecast models.
