Since the nineties, atmospheric measurement systems have been deployed at Reunion Island, mainly for monitoring the atmospheric composition in the framework of NDSC/NDACC (Network for the Detection of Stratospheric Change/Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change). The location of Reunion Island presents a great interest because there are very few multi-instrumented stations in the tropics and particularly in the Southern Hemisphere. In 2012, a new observatory was commissioned in Maïdo at 2200 m a.s.l.: it hosts various instruments for atmospheric measurements, including LiDAR systems, spectro-radiometers and in situ gases and aerosols measurements.
