The proposed project “Readiness of ICOS for Necessities of integrated Global Observations” (RINGO) aimed to further develop ICOS RI and ICOS ERIC and to foster its sustainability. The challenges were to advance the readiness of ICOS RI along five principal objectives: Scientific readiness: To support the further consolidation of observational networks and enhance their quality. […]

ACTRIS-PPP (Preparatory Phase Project) represented the strategic step toward establishing ACTRIS (Aerosols, Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure) as a fully operational, centrally coordinated pan-European Research Infrastructure. Following the inclusion of ACTRIS in the ESFRI Roadmap in 2016, the Preparatory Phase was launched to enable the transition from a project-based network to a sustainable, legally

RAMOS – Technical Assistance For A Romanian Atmospheric Observation System was an ESA-ESTEC project (ESA/4000118115/16/NL/FF/gp) which aimed to develop and integrate a facility based on a combination of ground-based and airborne remote sensing capabilities to retrieve several atmospheric species (greenhouse gases, air pollutants, aerosols) in the context of current and future space-borne Earth observation missions.

CEO-TERRA (Center for Environmental Research and Earth Observation) was a project co-financed by the European Fund for Regional Development, through the Competitiveness Operational Program 2014-2020, POC-A.1-A.1.1.1-F-2015-152/2016. The aim of the project was to create a world-class infrastructure for observing and characterizing the environment through advanced optoelectronic methods. This infrastructure was relevant for the terrestrial segment

SAMIRA (SAtellite-based Monitoring Initiative for Regional Air quality) was implemented between 2016 and 2019 with funding from ESA/ESRIN. The project aimed to enhance regional and local air quality monitoring by combining data from existing and upcoming Earth observation satellites, in situ air quality networks, and outputs from chemical transport models. The project focused on improving

MULTIPLY – Development of a European HSRL airborne facility, is a ESA-ESTEC project which proposes the development of a novel multi-wavelength HSRL system (3b + 2a + 3d) for airborne operation, capable of retrieving the aerosol extinction, backscatter and depolarization profile distributions. The system will be designed to be especially compact and robust, both optically

ROMEO (ROmanian Methane Emissions from Oil & Gas) was a large measurement campaign aimed at investigating methane emissions from oil and gas production in Romania. The campaign was initiated by the European H2020 project MEMO2 and was funded through the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) international methane science studies, administered by the United Nations

ACTRIS-2 (2015–2019) was implemented under the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 (H2020) programme as the second phase of ACTRIS. It consolidated and further developed the services established during the FP7 ACTRIS project (2011–2015), continuing the integration of European ground-based stations equipped with advanced instrumentation for aerosols, clouds, and short-lived gas-phase species. The project aimed to maintain

ECARS (East European Centre for Atmospheric Remote Sensing) aimed to strengthen and advance atmospheric remote sensing research by building a pole of excellence at the National Institute of R&D for Optoelectronics (INOE) in Romania and positioning it as a key player in Eastern Europe. Atmospheric remote sensing required multi-instrument, multi-platform, and multidisciplinary expertise to address

AROMAT (Airborne Romanian Measurements of Aerosols and Trace gases) was a research project designed to support the scientific objectives of several upcoming European Space Agency (ESA) Earth Observation missions and their user communities. The project addressed key challenges related to atmospheric composition monitoring from space, ensuring that satellite observations meet the required standards of accuracy,
