Potential contribution to GALION Hdf Format, compatible with MPLNET format. We promote the continuous vertical monitoring and give new customers a contact to main research networks (ex. Juëlich, RISOE, ETZH in Europe, Hongkong, NPL India and Indoniesan Met bureau for 7’seas ) Participate to QA effort for the ALS Specific support for some stations (but not permanent, will need extra funding) Providing ezsunphotometer coupling software for a better calibration 6 NOT GOOD FOR CLIMATE MONITORING Chibolton obs., univ. Reading GOOD FOR CLIMATE OBSERVATIONS 20 potential sites Some co-located with sunphotometers Air quality monitoring in a metro station
