A monitoring station consisting of a new multiwavelength lidar built by the Lidar Division of CEILAP for the measurement of volcanic ash, a sunphotometer added to the AERONET / NASA and a nephelometer was installed at the airport in San Carlos de Bariloche, Rio Negro, Argentina. The main objective is to provide information to help aerial authorities to determine the feasibility of air traffic due to the presence of volcanic ashes from the Puyehue volcano. The description of the instrument and some results are presented.
