We are excited to announce the installation of a 30 m measurement tower at the RADO-Bucharest station as part of the IM⁴CA project, in collaboration with EMPA. Over the coming months, the campaign will support advanced atmospheric observations, including methane isotopes, ethane, carbon isotopes, CO₂, and 3D wind measurements to improve methane source attribution and

Following the visit of the Japanese delegation to MARS, we are proud to share a letter of appreciation from the President of the National Research Authority, regarding our center’s contribution to the Third Joint Committee on Cooperation in the Field of Science and Technology between Romania and Japan.
AURORA (Copernicus Service to Support the Validation and Monitoring of Air Quality in Urban Areas) aims to strengthen the validation and monitoring capacity of air quality products in urban and peri-urban environments across the Mediterranean and sub-Mediterranean region. The project supports the Copernicus atmospheric composition services by providing validated Fiducial Reference Measurements (FRMs) and establishing
AERIS (Advancing intErnational aeRosol monItoring and Science in South America) aims to strengthen atmospheric research and monitoring capacities in South America by addressing critical gaps in vertically resolved observations and aerosol characterisation. In a region facing major atmospheric and climate-related challenges, limited infrastructure and data coverage have constrained accurate modelling, forecasting, and policy development. Supported
