The University ‘G. d’Annunzio’ of Chieti Pescara Atmospheric Observatory (Ud’A Trabocchi): a new supersite for atmospheric observation and research in central Adriatic coast, Italy.

The University ‘G. d’Annunzio’ of Chieti Pescara Atmospheric Observatory (Ud’A Trabocchi) aims to investigate atmospheric chemistry, greenhouse gases evolution, atmosphere-soil exchanges and marine meteorology within a rural-marine setting. The facility has a 15 m tall tower with seven sample points: each every every 2 m. State-of-the-art instrumentation for long-term continuous measurements of CO₂, CH₄, N₂O and isotopic ratio of CH₄ and CO₂ (Picarro); O₃, NO, NO₂, NO_x, CO and SO₂ (Thermo); NO₂ (CAPS, Teledyne); CO₂ flux (LI-COR); Radon (Mi.lan); Aerosol concentration and size distribution (SMPS, TSI); column observation of O₃, NO₂, SO₂, HCHO (PANDORA 2S), Aerosol optical depth (CIMEL); GNSS reciver (Geoguard and Stonex); Meteorological station (Vaisala); Celiometer (Vaisala CL61). Finally, the station includes a UAV system equipped with meteorological sensors and low-cost sensor to detect CO₂, CH₄, O₃ and NO_x. Data of the first period of observation will be shown and will be discussed possible opportunity of collaborations and synergic activities.
