Cyprus is an ideal location for the study of the atmosphere and specifically for the study of particulate matter and their interaction with clouds to create rainfall. The growing research activities of recent years under EU programmes (BACCHUS, ACTRIS) demonstrate that Cyprus is an important area for the study of the atmosphere and climate change. Following this scientific interest, and with a voluntary initiative of TROPOS and TROPOS research centre, the latest technology mobile remote sensing unit of TROPOS launched continuous observations (October 2016-September 2017) as part of the CyCARE campaign in Limassol, Cyprus. The Sirocco proposal was based on the unique opportunity of the availability of long continuous observations of the vertical distribution of particles, clouds, winds and rainfall in the coastal region of Limassol, Cyprus, an area with intense mixing of dust particles and pollution. The Sirocco project will analyse and combine the lidar observations (PollyXT, Doppler lidar) of the parameters associated with suspended particles (particle separation, optical properties, arithmetic concentrations, concentrations of condensation nuclei and ice crystals) with the observations of Cloudnet (cloud radar, radiometer, disdrometer) of cloud and precipitation parameters (microphysical properties and cloud dynamics). This unique database will allow for the first time a holistic in-depth analysis of the interaction between aerosols and clouds and rainfall in the highly complex atmospheric environment of the Eastern Mediterranean. The general methodology to be developed will be applicable to a large volume of terrestrial and satellite data for the study of other areas.

Η Κύπρος αποτελεί ιδανική τοποθεσία για τη μελέτη της ατμόσφαιρας και συγκεκριμένα για τη μελέτη των αιωρούμενων σωματιδίων καθώς και της αλληλεπίδρασής τους με τα νέφη για τη δημιουργία βροχόπτωσης. Οι αυξανόμενες ερευνητικές δραστηριότητες των τελευταίων ετών στο πλαίσιο προγραμμάτων της ΕΕ (BACCHUS, ACTRIS) αποδεικνύουν ότι η Κύπρος αποτελεί σημαντική περιοχή για τη μελέτη της ατμόσφαιρας και της κλιματικής αλλαγής. Ακολουθώντας αυτό το επιστημονικό ενδιαφέρον, και με εθελοντική πρωτοβουλία του ΤΕΠΑΚ και του ερευνητικού κέντρου TROPOS, η τελευταίας τεχνολογίας κινητή μονάδα τηλεπισκόπησης LACROS του TROPOS, ξεκίνησε συνεχείς παρατηρήσεις (Οκτώβριος 2016-Σεπτέμβριος 2017) στο πλαίσιο της εκστρατείας CyCARE στη Λεμεσό, Κύπρος. Η πρόταση SIROCCO στηρίχθηκε στη μοναδική ευκαιρία της διαθεσιμότητας μεγάλης διάρκειας συνεχόμενων παρατηρήσεων της κατακόρυφης κατανομής των σωματιδίων, των νεφών, των ανέμων και της βροχόπτωσης στην παράκτια περιοχή της Λεμεσού, Κύπρος, περιοχή με έντονη ανάμειξη σωματιδίων σκόνης και ρύπανσης. Στο πλαίσιο του προγράμματος SIROCCO θα αναλυθούν και θα συνδυαστούν οι παρατηρήσεις lidar (PollyXT, Doppler lidar) των παραμέτρων που σχετίζονται με τα αιωρούμενα σωματίδια (διαχωρισμός σωματιδίων, οπτικές ιδιότητες, αριθμητικές συγκεντρώσεις, συγκεντρώσεις πυρήνων συμπύκνωσης και παγοκρυστάλλων) με τις παρατηρήσεις Cloudnet (cloud radar, radiometer, disdrometer) των παραμέτρων των νεφών και του υετού (μικροφυσικές ιδιότητες και δυναμική των νεφών, ρυθμός βροχόπτωσης). Η μοναδική αυτή βάση δεδομένων θα επιτρέψει για πρώτη φορά μια ολιστική εις βάθος ανάλυση της αλληλεπίδρασης αερολυμάτων-νεφών και βροχόπτωσης στο ιδιαιτέρως σύνθετο ατμοσφαιρικό περιβάλλον της Ανατολικής Μεσογείου. Η γενική μεθοδολογία που θα αναπτυχθεί θα είναι εφαρμόσιμη σε μεγάλο όγκο επίγειων και δορυφορικών δεδομένων για τη μελέτη άλλων περιοχών. Ο βασικός στόχος του SIROCCO είναι ο προσδιορισμός των κύριων διεργασιών που συνδέονται με τον σχηματισμό νεφών και υετού σε σχέση (Greek)
