As part of the actions we are undertaking in 2016 to commemorate the centenary of the Izaña Observatory, we have published a booklet entitled " The Izaña Observatory Centenary: The exciting story of a mountain observatory on a remote island in the North Atlantic”, written by Dr Fernando de Ory Ajamil. The booklet gives a brief historical overview, spanning four centuries, of the first meteorological and atmospheric observations conducted in Tenerife, the events leading up to the creation of the Izaña Observatory and the 100 years since its inauguration.

As part of the actions we are undertaking in 2016 to commemorate the centenary of the Izaña Observatory, we have published an informative booklet of 44 pages entitled "The Izaña Atmospheric Research Centre: 100 years of atmospheric observation" in which, in a concise but rigorous way, we summarise the activities currently developed at the Izaña Atmospheric Research Centre of the State Meteorological Agency of Spain (AEMET). The booklet contains numerous photographs and graphics.

This first activity report, apart from the report that it is, also aims to be the business card that will open the various acts of tribute to be held throughout 2016. There is nothing better to celebrate the centenary of this center than reporting the many activities and the great development achieved after 100 years of life as a high mountain meteorological observatory, and 32 years contributing to the GAW programme and its predecessor the WMO Background Atmospheric Pollution Monitoring Network (BAPMoN). Henceforth the IARC Activity Reports will be published on a bi-annual basis.
