AIDA
The AIDA (Aerosol Interaction and Dynamics in the Atmosphere) facility at KIT is a unique laboratory for the investigation of atmospheric processes. It comprises two simulation chambers: AIDAc, which has been in operation since 1997, and AIDAd, which went into operation in 2020. These chambers enable research into aerosol, cloud and trace gas processes under various thermodynamic conditions. AIDA plays a central role in climate research and is part of the European research infrastructure system ACTRIS, which promotes the exchange and calibration of measuring instruments.
