Ineia

The Cyprus Atmospheric Observatory INEIA station (CAO-INE) stands as a critical monitoring outpost, strategically positioned atop the highest hill of the peninsula, at an elevation of 650 meters above sea level. This elevated vantage point provides an unobstructed sampling environment crucial for accurate atmospheric measurements.

Since its establishment in December 2021, the station is used to collect greenhouse gases (GHGs) and meteorological data. The greenhouse gas measurements conducted at the INEIA station, mainly CO2, CH4, and CO are fully compliant with the specifications set forth by the Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS).
