The CO-PDD instrumented site has a good configuration for the study of precipitation using a suitable instrumental set: X-band radar, Micro-Rain Radar (MRR), rain gauges and optical disdrometers for measuring microphysical rain parameters. An Eigenbrodt automatic rain collector has also been in operation at Opme since 2015. This device allows the sequential analysis of the chemical composition of rain and in particular the content of glaciation nuclei (INP, Ice Nuclei Particles).
