The Facility for Ground based Atmospheric Measurements (FGAM) is involved in numerous field studies around the globe. 

Laboratory, calibration, field and airborne studies are performed by FGAM during short-term projects, while the observatories operate continuously.  The locations of these studies are highlighted on the map.

More detailed information about each of the projects can be found below sorted by measurement platform:
