AERONET Aerosol Network

The AERONET (AErosol RObotic NETwork) project is a federation of ground-based remote sensing aerosol networks established by NASA and PHOTONS (PHOtométrie pour le Traitement Opérationnel de Normalisation Satellitaire; Univ. de Lille 1, CNES, and CNRS-INSU) and is greatly extended by networks (e.g. RIMA, AeroSpan, AEROCAN and CARSNET) and collaborators from national agencies, institutes, universities, individual scientists and partners. For more than 25 years, the project has provided a long-term, continuous and easily accessible public domain database of aerosol optical, microphysical and radiative properties for aerosol research and characterisation, validation of satellite retrievals and synergy with other databases. The network is responsible for instrument standardisation, calibration, processing and distribution. The GRSV provides real-time data to NASA's international AERONET (Aerosol Robotic Network). Public data are available via the website https://aeronet.gsfc.nasa.gov.

ESR/SKYNET Net

The main objectives of SKYNET are to quantitatively assess the long-term variations of aerosol and cloud properties, and hence of atmospheric radiation reaching the surface, and to understand their effects on climate due to aerosol-cloud-solar interaction. In addition, validation of satellite observations from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the European Space Agency (ESA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), as well as climate model simulations and data assimilation, are also part of the scope of SKYNET's activity. To achieve these goals, SKYNET observes the optical and microphysical properties of aerosols and clouds and measures atmospheric radiation, based on close international collaboration between national agencies, institutes and universities mainly in Asia and Europe.
