What is CHOPIN?  is a multi-part documentary about the the 2024-2025 CleanCloud CHOPIN (Cleancloud Helmos OrograPhic sIte experimeNt) campaign at Mt.Helmos, Greece: where mythology, aerosols, clouds and climate meet. This video is the sixth and final part, Act 6, where Mrs.Roula (owner of the hotel "Enastron" at Kalavryta where CHOPIN researchers stayed while in the field) provides her endearing and warm perspectives of the CHOPIN team and their efforts. The connection between the local community with the scientists and their strong support, commitment and hospitality provided throughout was a key for the success of CHOPIN. The stunning nature of Mt.Helmos, the beautiful village of Kalavryta with its relaxing atmosphere, rich history, activities and excellent food kept spirits high for the team - even during the most challenging phases of the experiment.
