3rd CINDI-2 Workshop
ESA/ESRIN, Frascati (Italy)
26-27 February 2019
The 3rd CINDI-2 (Second Cabauw Intercomparison of Nitrogen Dioxide Measuring Instruments) Workshop was held on 26-27 February 2019 at ESA/ESRIN in Frascati (Italy). The Workshop, locally organised by ESA (A. Dehn and her team), gathered 35 scientists from all around the World (see list of participants here) to present and discuss the current status of the CINDI-2 campaign results.
