Call for Associates

EARLINET-ASOS opens its first and continuous call for Associates to achieve its objectives:

 

• To extend the development of the European Aerosol Research Lidar Network as a world-leading instrument for the observation of the 4-dimensional spatio-temporal distribution of aerosols on a continental scale, resulting in accurate, well-defined, and easily accessible data products for use in science and environmental services.
• To enhance the operation of this instrument to foster aerosol-related process studies, validation of satellite sensors, model development and validation, assimilation of aerosol data into operational models, and to build a comprehensive climatology of the aerosol distribution.
• To play a leading role in the development of a global observation network for the aerosol vertical distribution as a major innovative element of GEOSS, by setting the standards for instruments, methodology, and organization in this specific area.

 

EARLINET-ASOS associate members should be EARLINET members and they are expected to contribute to at least one networking action among NAs 3 through 5. They are expected to cover their travel expenses to workshops and other EARLINET-ASOS-related activities. At the same time, they will benefit from a set of activities that EARLINET-ASOS will undertake within its networking activities such as workshops, web-based information, and dissemination of information.

 

 

How to apply

Applicants should submit an application form.

Associates may contribute to all the networking activities. More information about the different project activities is available on the EARLINET-ASOS website.

The admission of an institution as EARLINET-ASOS Associate is at the sole discretion of the EARLINET-ASOS General Assembly.

Upon acceptance of the proposal, the EARLINET-ASOS Associate will be asked to sign an associate accession form (Association Agreement).

Associates will be required to report annually to the appropriate activity leader on results obtained within EARLINET-ASOS-related activities.

 
  
The completed application form should be submitted to Gelsomina Pappalardo (the EARLINET-ASOS Coordinator) (pappalardono@keinspamimaa.cnr.it)
