Boundary-layer Air Quality-analysis Using Network of Instruments (BAQUNIN) Super-Site includes ground based active and passive remote sensing instruments operating in synergy, offering quantitative and qualitative information for a wide range of atmospheric parameters for atmospheric chemistry (satellite) validation activities and Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) studies. The supersite consists of three different sites: an urban component (Physics Department of Sapienza University Sapienza, Rome), a semi-rural component (CNR-ISAC, Tor Vergata) and a rural component (CNR-IIA, Montelibretti), each hosting at least one Pandora spectrometer and, as the case of Sapienza, a large number of other atmospheric remote sensing devices.
The permanent sites of ESR/SKYNET and AERONET networks, are hosted at the Physics Department of Sapienza University, Rome, continuously operating since 2010 and 2016 respectively. ISAC personal is PI of the ESR site and co-PI of the AERONET site.
