The technical specifications and advances/ upgrades of the stationary (EOLE) and mobile (AIAS) lidars located at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) are presented in this paper. EOLE is a multi-wavelength combined backscatter/Raman lidar system, which is part of the EARLINET lidar network since May 2000. AIAS is a mobile 532 nm elastic depolarization lidar system. Both instruments have been upgraded during 2019, in the frame of PANACEA to be part of the Greek National Research Infrastructure for aerosol research, under the umbrella of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI).
