Venue
The Izaña Atmospheric Observatory (IZO), managed by the State Meteorological Agency of Spain (AEMET), is located at the island of Tenerife (Canary Islands) at 2373 m a.s.l. The observatory is on the top of a mountain plateau, in a pre-national park area (Teide National Park) that is environmentally protected by the "Sky Law". IZO is normally above a temperature inversion layer, generally well established over the island, and so free of local anthropogenic influences.
