In August 2022, the MARTHA system in Leipzig was fitted with an additional receiving channel capable of measuring fluorescence backscatter. It underwent a major modernisation at the end of 2023. With funding from the Free State of Saxony, a new, even more powerful laser and a 32-channel spectrometer were purchased, enabling detailed aerosol measurements from the ground up into the stratosphere to precisely document trends in the climate system over Saxony and Central Europe.
