RADO-Bucharest: request for accessing the infrastructure

ABOUT RADO-BUCHAREST

RADO (Romanian Atmospheric 3D research Observatory) is a nationally distributed infrastructure, operating ground-based in situ and remote sensing instrumentation for characterising the optical and microphysical properties of aerosol, clouds and trace gases in the atmospheric column.

RADO-Bucharest is operated by the National Institute of R&D for Optoelectronics (INOE).

Highlights

GAW regional station      |     ACTRIS National Facility      |      ACTRIS Topical Centre for Aerosol Remote Sensing (CARS) 

Laboratories and main instrumentation

Aerosol remote sensing (reference (fixed and mobile) multi-wavelength Raman polarization lidars, lunar photometer)      |    Aerosol in situ (aerosol chemical speciation monitor, C-ToF aerosol mass spectrometer, aethalometer, aerosol particle sizer, automatic pollen and bioaerosol detector, cloud condensation nuclei counter, integrated nephelometer)    |    Cloud remote sensing (84 GHz cloud radar, 35 GHz scanning cloud radar, ceilometer, microwave radiometer, wind lidar)     |    Trace gases remote sensing (Pandora-2S, tropospheric ozone lidar, mobile FTIR, mobile DOAS, gas analysers)      |     Meteorological and radiation (10m tower, fully equipped weather station, sodar, microrain radar, disdrometer, all sky camera, Razon+ monitor)    |    Mobile laboratory (van, custom configuration).

ACCESS POLICY

Access to RADO-Bucharest's infrastructure and expertise is open but competitive.

In the case of physical and remote access, access is competitive based on capacity and resources available at any given time. In the case of virtual access, requests will be served in the limit of data availability.

Physical access: the user visits the facility in person (hands-on training, experiments in the provider's laboratories, with or without user's own instrumentatiion, etc.)       |      Remote access: the user does not visit the facility in person (online training, prototype testing, expert analysis of test data, etc.)       |      Virtual access: the user requests for specific data

Access granting process

The user (team leader on behalf of the team) must submit through this portal a short description of the team's expertise, and of the activities (experiments / studies) to be implemented. The team can be composed of max. 5 persons, not necessarily from the same institution.

An internal committee will analyse the request against 3 criteria:

Feasibility (5 points): can the access be implemented with the available material and time resources?       |       Added-value (3 points): will the access help significantly in solving the expressed needs of the user?       |       Impact (2 points): will the access results produce a positive impact in the society? 

Incomplete and/or inconsistent requests will be rejected. The evaluation result will be sent to the team leader as soon as possible. 

 

Personal data agreement

This portal is managed by the National Institute of R&D for Optoelectronics. All data collected through this form is securely stored on INOE's server. Access to your data (contact, answers and informed consent)) will be restricted to required INOE's personnel.

(This question is mandatory)
By marking "yes" at this step you give us the GDPR agreement.
Team leader

The team leader acts as a contact person. If you are the team leader, you are responsible for submitting the access request on behalf of all participants. Please make sure you have their agreement. By submitting this form, you are also giving us permission to contact you.

Please complete the registration in one single step because the system does not keep track of your IP. Interruptions lead to loosing all information previously filled. If you provided a valid email, you will receive a confirmation of submission from carport@inoe.ro.
