    "abstract": "The Meteorological Research Unit, located at Cardington, Bedfordshire (52.10469N. -0.42161 E, 29 m amsl), maintained a suite of surface-based and mast-mounted instrumentation since the 1990s until its closure in 2024. The main purpose of this instrumentation site, which was logged 24 hours a day, was to provide data for atmospheric processes research, and for the development and evaluation of numerical model output and performance.\r\n\r\nThe site has the following identifiers:\r\n- WMO 03559\r\n- DCNN 3456\r\n- WIND 345601\r\n- RAIN 174566\r\n- CLBW 99230\r\n\r\nThe site hosted 3 instrumented towers at 10 m, 25 m and 50 m as well as having capacity to operate radiosonde launches, tethered balloon and UAV flights.\r\n\r\nIn addition, specialist remote-sensing instruments included microwave radiometers, Halo Doppler lidars, and ceilometers.\r\n\r\nFor more specific details for the site see the MIDAS Station entry linked to from this record where the site has a source ID (src_id): 465.",
