In July and August 2023, two online ice nucleating particle (INP) instruments were running in parallel at the Jungfraujoch Research Station. This intercomparison exercise was an important step towards Jungfraujoch becoming a National Facility of the ACTRIS Topical Center for Cloud In Situ (CIS) Measurements. CIS aims to establish a…
Members of ACTRIS Switzerland, the Laboratory of Atmospheric Chemistry at PSI, and the HFSJG recently welcomed a delegation of 12 researchers from Peking University to Jungfraujoch. The visitors enjoyed a tour of the Jungfraujoch National Facility as well as an afternoon workshop on high altitude atmospheric measurements. Although the weather…
PSI’s Atmospheric Chemistry Simulation Chambers and the Jungfraujoch research station are part of the ATMO-ACCESS project, which is a project that facilitates access to and use of the most advanced atmospheric research infrastructures in Europe. We are excited to announce that the 5th call for Trans-National Access within ATMO-ACCESS is…
The European Commission has taken a long-anticipated decision to establish the Aerosol, Clouds, and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure (ACTRIS) as a European Research Infrastructure Consortium, or ERIC.
The Jungfraujoch High Altitude Research Station was awarded the prestigious EuChemS Historical Landmark Award in recognition of the pioneering work performed there! Read all about it here.
Aerosols have been measured continuously at the Jungfraujoch for over 25 years. Check out this interview with aerosol detective Benjamin Brem, who is responsible for keeping this record running.
