Research equipment

• Siberian Lidar Station
  Siberian Lidar Station (SLS) located in Tomsk is the only site at the Asian part of the Russian territory, where regular monitoring of aerosol, temperature, cloudiness, ozone, and gaseous constituents of the ozone cycle in the atmosphere is carried out using the methods of remote optical sensing.
• Flying Laboratory
  AN-30 Optik-E Flying Laboratory is designed to measure the amount of pollutants in air and on the surface.
• Spectrophotometric system employing 110m and 30m long multipass cells
  The spectrophotometric system developed in IAO provides for absolute measurements of the absorption coefficients of the atmosphere and its gaseous constituents with high sensitivity
• Aerosol chambers, heat chamber
  Aerosol chambers are used to model smokes, smog, and other aerosol media under controllable conditions.
• Lidars
• Other devices and instruments
  The latest devices and instruments designed and fabricated in IAO.
