  ACTRIS (http://www.actris.eu/) proviene de las siglas en inglés Aerosols, Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure, y se trata de una iniciativa europea de infraestructura que surge en 2011 de la unión de varias iniciativas e infraestructuras de investigación atmosférica europeas previamente existentes, creadas con distintos objetivos pero con sinergias evidentes. Algunas de estas iniciativas fueron impulsadas y respaldadas por proyectos del Quinto y Sexto Programa Marco de Investigación y Desarrollo Tecnológico de la Comisión Europea, como la red EARLINET- European Aerosol Research Lidar Network, en la que el CIEMAT participa desde el año 2006, o las redes EUSAAR- European Supersites for Atmospheric Aerosol Research, o CLOUDNET- Cloud Profiles in Operational Models Using Ground-Based Observations, entre otras.

  ACTRIS (http://www.actris.eu/) comes from the English acronym for Aerosols, Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure. This is a European infrastructure initiative that emerged in 2011 from the union of several previously existing initiatives and infrastructures for atmospheric research, created in Europe with different objectives but with obvious synergies. Some of these initiatives were promoted and supported by the Fifth and Sixth Framework Programs for Research and Technological Development from the European Commission, such as the EARLINET network (European Aerosol Research Lidar Network), which CIEMAT has participated in since 2006; the EUSAAR network (European Supersites for Atmospheric Aerosol Research), CLOUDNET (Cloud Profiles in Operational Models Using Ground-Based Observations), and others.
