Abstract: At the Istituto di Metodologie per l'Analisi Ambientale of the Italian National Research Council (CNR-IMAA) an advanced observatory for the ground-based remote sensing of the atmosphere is operative. This facility is equipped with several instruments including two multi-wavelength Raman lidars, one of which mobile, a microwave profiler, a 36 GHz Doppler polarimetric radar, two laser ceilometers, a sun photometer, a surface radiation station and three radiosounding stations. CNR-IMAA atmospheric observatory (CIAO) is located in Southern Italy on the Apennine mountains (40.60N, 15.72E, 760 m a.s.l.), less than 150 km from the West, South and East coasts. The site is in a valley surrounded by low mountains (
