CESAR Observatory
The Cesar Observatory is located in the western part of the Netherlands
(51.971° N, 4.927° E) in a polder 0.7 m below mean sealevel.
At the site a large set of instruments is operated to study the atmosphere and its interaction with the land surface.
The Cesar site is used for:
- Monitoring of long term tendencies in atmospheric changes
- Studies of atmospheric and land surface processes for climate modeling
- Validation of space-borne observations
- The development and implementation of new measurement techniques
- Training of young scientists at post-doc, PhD and master level.
Three universities and five major research institutes collaborate in Cesar.
It is the focal point of experimental atmospheric research in The Netherlands.
