The station of Lamezia Terme CNR-ISAC is located in a remote position, 500 m from the coastline on a wide plain of Lamezia Terme, at the mouth of the only valley in Calabria that connects the Tyrrhenian Sea with the Ionian Sea. ISACis located at LAMEC, "Laboratory of Meteorology and Climatology " of CRATI SCRL, "Consortium for Research and Applications of Innovative Technologies," in which the CNR is one of the partners . Into the 15 to the Core Industrial Lamezia Terme consists of approximately 1200 square meters of studies and workshops and about 1500 square meters of shared experimental field . In this laboratory is also the Computing Center .

The integration of researchers with different expertise since 2005 orients the research of meteorology and atmospheric physics in different sectors , in particular, at this infrastructure CNR were developed and integrated macro- skills around two main activities: the experimental activity with the development of the experimental basis of Lamezia Terme and meteorological modeling , including the operational aspects and performance verification .

The experimental field of Lamezia Terme , has a total instrumental discerned , detailed later , and is located in a strategic position being situated at 500 m from the coast in a complex orographic peninsula where the sea breezes and land breezes interact with downstream and upstream and circulations with synoptic-scale generating complex circulation systems. The complexity and the variety of phenomena that occur on the experimental site also allows to study and characterize different " types" of atmospheric circulation that occur in other areas of the regions of Convergences . In particular, the convergence of breezes during the day within the valley ( in the region ) or the mountains , which sometimes creates heavy rainfall in the interior, can 'cause the wet deposition of pollutants possible ; recirculation and / or stagnation of pollutants and dust thin or volcanic buildup on certain parts of the territory and therefore in the interiors of homes, offices and public places and dry deposition on the ground and then on crops and groundwater .

Currently , the experimental field of Lamezia Terme plays a very important role for the verification of meteorological models high spatio-temporal resolution and the data assimilation , as well as for the development of new physical parameterizations able to describe atmospheric processes . Through the implementation of the instrumental set-up currently exists through the installation of new gas analyzers into tracks and physico-chemical properties of the aerosol, a system for profiling atmospheric and new infrastructure of monitoring , it may be a fully-fledged key point for monitoring the variability of climate-altering compounds and chemistry of the atmosphere in the "Regioni di Convergenza".
