The VITAL (Vertical profiling of the Troposphere: Innovation, opTimization and AppLication) Summer School is carried out jointly by the University of Cologne and the University of Bonn, and is funded within HErZ.

Within the HIRES-APP project, two campaigns VITAL I & II will take place at Forschungszentrum Jülich, in the Aachen-Bonn-Cologne-Jülich (ABC/J) region from 12-23 August 2024 and in  Summer 2026.

The focus of VITAL I  is on the vertical structure of the troposphere to contribute to filling the observational gap of wind, water vapor and temperature profile observations in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer. Novel, state-of-art  measurement techniques will be tested, evaluated and compared to each other.

Registrations are open until 5 April 2024.
