The next major campaign for EULIAA’s atmospheric lidar is scheduled to start in early July 2026 at the Sphinx Observatory on Jungfraujoch (3,571 m a.s.l.) in Switzerland.
Partners from MeteoSwiss, IAP and Fraunhofer ILT visited the site to plan logistics, access and installation on the Meteo Terrace, where the second UV lidar will operate for about three months under extreme conditions (hoarfrost, snow, wind gusts up to 250 km/h and very low temperatures).
Demonstrating fully autonomous operation at this remote, high‑altitude station will be an important proof of the high technological readiness level (TRL) of the EULIAA lidar systems and a step towards future dual‑site measurements (e.g. MeteoSwiss Payerne + Jungfraujoch) as a first lidar array.
