Rhine Valley Supersite Water treatment facility
(Kläranlage) Archern 4838 N, 803 E, elev 140 m
Community facility run by the local government,

The site is at approx. 10.5 km from the supersite
at Hornisgrinde, where the UHOH scanning DIAL and
R Raman lidar systems are located (these
instruments having an horizonal coverage of
approx. 20 km). Thus, the limited distance
between these two sites will allow
intercomparisons of Rhine site intrumentation
with the UHOH DIAL and Raman lidars.

OVERALL ELECTRICITY REQUIREMENTS Power 20
kW distributed over 8 x16 A single phase
plugs 1 x 32 A triphase plugs
This is already avaialable at the station

• We need to implement
• power distributors
• current meters
• Hans Münster from University of Hamburg is taking
  care of it

OVERALL RUNNING WATER REQUIREMENTS
5 l/min (already available, but we need to
implement pressure reducers)
OVERALL INTERNET REQUIREMENTS
ADSL Internet connection with 10 fixed IP
addresses (speed 250 kbits/sec)
Hans Münster from University of Hamburg is taking
care of it

• 
  Radiosonde Station
• Provided by Geraint Vaughan/Steve Mobbs
• Installed on a laptop. The base station comes
  with a portable antenna. The system receives GPS
  from sondes.
• Total power requirement small (0.3 kW).
• RS80 sondes avaialble, balloons, parachutes and
  helium gas not avaialable.
• Gas regulator avaialble, but it is best get the
  regulator from a German group because a British
  one might not fit German gas bottles).
• UK groups have no funding to provide people to
  prepare and launch sondes.
• Personnel of Univ. of Basilicata avaialble for
  launches up to twice per day.
