The Leipzig Aerosol and Cloud Remote Observations System (LACROS) of the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS) comprises a unique set of active and passive remote-sensing instruments which are to a large extent containerized and available for application in field campaigns. The instrumentation is suitable for the combined observation of aerosols, clouds, and their interaction. | The Leipzig Aerosol and Cloud Remote Observations System (LACROS) of the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS) comprises a unique set of active and passive remote-sensing instruments which are to a large extent containerized and available for application in field campaigns.

- Instrument validation and development of algorithms and new measurement techniques for ground–based cloud and aerosol microphysics retrievals in the frame of the Aerosols, Clouds, and Trace gases Research InfraStructure Network (ACTRIS). Key points of interest are the determination of the suitability of the different remote-sensing instruments to detect specific features of clouds and aerosols. Based on LACROS data, combined retrieval techniques are developed, e.g., for the detection of aerosol optical and microphysical properties during daytime from combined Sun-photometer and multiwavlength lidar data measurements. | - Instrument validation and development of algorithms and new measurement techniques for ground–based cloud and aerosol microphysics retrievals in the frame of the Aerosols, Clouds, and Trace gases Research InfraStructure Network (ACTRIS).
