Potential contribution to GALION • Hdf Format, compatible with MPLNET format. • We promote the continuous vertical monitoring and give new customers a contact to main research networks (ex. Juëlich, RISOE, ETZH in Europe, Hongkong , NPL India and Indoniesan Met bureau for 7’seas ) • Participate to QA effort for the ALS • Specific support for some stations (but not permanent, will need extra funding) • Providing ezsunphotometer coupling software for a better calibration NOT GOOD FOR CLIMATE MONITORING GOOD FOR CLIMATE OBSERVATIONS 20 potential sites Some co-located with sunphotometers Chibolton obs., univ. Reading Air quality monitoring in a metro station
