The ground stations of the European research infrastructure ACTRIS play an important role in calibrating the data from the EarthCARE satellite: they have been established and expanded in recent years to analyse aerosol particles and clouds using remote sensing instruments such as lidar and radar. Around 50 stations in Europe (photo: TROPOS in Leipzig) and overseas are involved in the atmo4ACTRIS measurement campaign.
