-The Atacama is formed by a plateau at about 1000m above sea level between a low mountain range alone the pacific to the west and the Andes mountains to the east. The coastal mountain  range drops at most places in a cliff to the towards the pacific ocean shoreline. As the plateau lies just above the same height as the stratus cloud deck of the eastern Pacific these clouds form as fog the main source of water along this cliff, and at certain pathways also into the Atacama. +The Atacama is formed by a plateau at about 1000m above sea level between a coastal mountain range along the pacific to the west and the Andes mountains to the east.

 With the instruments at the site it will be tried to characterize the clouds at the coast for one year. They will provide cloud base and top height, liquid water content, vertical and horizontal wind, temperature and humidity. With the instruments at the site it will be tried to characterize the clouds at the coast for one year.
