The instrumentation of the DACAPO-PESO field experiment will be deployed at 3 different sites.

1) Location of the Measurement site of LACROS
The main site of the LACROS measurement containers is located at:
53.1346°S, 70.8834°W, 9 m a.s.l

2) Location of radiation measurements
The roof platform of LIA/UMAG provides full-hemispheric view and thus perfect measurement conditions for radiation sensors. It is located at:
53.1354°S, 70.8845°W, 25 m a.s.l

3) Aerosol in-situ observations (planned for Jan 2019 - Dec 2019)
It is planned to install aerosol in-situ measurements at the top of the 622-m high mountain Cerro Mirador 8 km west of Punta Arenas. There, observations of aerosol number size distribution, cloud condensation, nuclei number concentration, and filter measurements of ice nucleating particle concentrations will be performed. The coordinates are:
53.1561°S, 71.0509°W, 622 m a.s.l.
