UGAMP continues to deliver excellence in research, excellence in technical support and excellence in training for young scientists.\r\n\r\nUGAMP has close links to many UK and International organisations, including:\r\n\r\nUnited Kingdom Meteorological Office\r\nEuropean Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts\r\nBritish Antarctic Survey\r\nBritish Atmospheric Data Centre\r\nCentre for Ecology and Hydrology\r\nEnvironmental Science Systems Centre (formerly NUTIS)\r\nUpper Troposphere Lower Stratosphere Ozone Scientific Research Programme (UTLS)\r\nClimatic Research Unit\r\nLeeds University , School of Chemistry\r\nLeicester University , Earth Observation Science group\r\nSouthampton Oceanography Centre\r\nLawrence Livermore National Laboratory\r\nMétéo France", "keywords": "UGAMp, Model, Climate, ozone", "status": "", "publicationState": "published", "identifier_set": [ "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/identifiers/928/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/identifiers/929/?format=api" ], "observationCollection": [ "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/observationcollections/1272/?format=api" ], "parentProject": "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/projects/877/?format=api", "subProject": [], "responsiblepartyinfo_set": [ "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/3982/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/102774/?format=api" ] }, { "ob_id": 1291, "uuid": "a4d5e011739f1e5be244c3b895804f38", "title": "RAPID-WATCH - The Value of the RAPID array for climate predictions (VALOR)", "abstract": "The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) involves a northward movement of warm surface waters balanced by a southward movement of cold deep waters. The net effect is to transport ~1PW of heat northwards. This heat is released to the atmosphere in mid-high latitudes, where it acts to warm the climate, notably in northern Europe. The future behaviour of the AMOC is an issue of major importance in climate prediction. Forecasts presented by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) suggest that, in response to greenhouse gas forcing, the AMOC may slow down, reducing the northward transport of heat by the Atlantic Ocean, and leading to a cooling of northern Europe that could offset anthropogenic warming. Moreover, there is evidence from palaeoclimate records that the AMOC can undergo very rapid transitions such as a total shutdown within little more than a decade. \r\n\r\nIt is possible that increasing levels of greenhouse gases could trigger such a rapid change with potentially serious consequences for societies in Europe and other regions surrounding the Atlantic basin. In the face of such risks, there is an obvious need for better, more quantitative, forecasts of the future behaviour of the AMOC. Such forecasts could provide early warning of possible rapid changes in the AMOC in future The RAPID array is a measurement system for observing the current state of the AMOC. \r\n\r\nThe overarching goal of the VALOR project was to assess the value of these observations for predicting the future behaviour of the AMOC, and its impacts on climate. The project explored a range of issues concerning the design of a potential AMOC prediction system. To achieve its goals VALOR exploited the RAPID observations in a variety of ways. First the observations were used as independent data to assess the quality of current ocean \"analyses\" (An \"analysis\" provides a quantitative description of the state of the ocean at a given time.). Next, they were used to improve the analyses. Finally, they were used to provide the starting conditions for a large set of \"hindcasts\". Hindcasts are predictions made from a date in the past, which only make use of information that would have been available at that date. These predictions can then be compared to what actually happened to assess prediction skill. \r\n\r\nVALOR carried out a suite of hindcast experiments to quantify the extent to which the RAPID observations can improve the skill of predictions of the AMOC and its impacts on climate. An important dimension of the project is that it involves agencies who are directly involved in operational climate forecasting: the Met Office Hadley Centre (MOHC) and the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting. By involving these partners from the start the project will benefit from their experience and expertise, and the scientific advances achieved through the research will feed directly into better climate predictions.", "keywords": "RAPID, Climate change, Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC)", "status": "completed", "publicationState": "published", "identifier_set": [ "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/identifiers/945/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/identifiers/946/?format=api" ], "observationCollection": [ "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/observationcollections/1288/?format=api" ], "parentProject": "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/projects/1292/?format=api", "subProject": [], "responsiblepartyinfo_set": [ "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/72295/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/46804/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/72296/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/72298/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/4023/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/72294/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/72297/?format=api" ] }, { "ob_id": 1292, "uuid": "831435ae52c634f3e85f84d18024d00b", "title": "RAPID-WATCH", "abstract": "RAPID-WATCH builds on RAPID to deliver a decade-long (2004-2014) time series of observations of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC).

The data from these satellites were used to study the radiation budget, which represents the balance between incoming energy from the Sun and outgoing thermal (longwave) and reflected (shortwave) energy from the Earth. The Earth's radiation budget is the primary indicator of global climate change. The absorbed shortwave radiation (incident minus reflected) fuels the earth's climate and biosphere systems. The longwave radiation represents the exhaust heat emitted to space. It can be used to estimate the insulating effect of the atmosphere (the greenhouse effect). It was also a useful indicator of cloud amount and activity. Consequently the ERBE has helped scientists worldwide better understand how clouds and aerosols, as well as some chemical compounds in the atmosphere (greenhouse gases), affect the Earth's daily and long-term weather (the Earth's climate). In addition, the ERBE data has helped scientists better understand how the amount of energy emitted by the Earth varies from day to night. These diurnal changes are also very important aspects of our daily weather and climate.\r\n\r\nIn the 1970's, NASA recognised the importance of the radiation budget and its effects on the Earth's climate. Langley Research Centre was charged with developing a new generation of instrumentation to make accurate regional and global measurements of the components of the radiation budget. The Goddard Space Flight Centre built the Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS) on which the first ERBE instruments were launched by the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1984. ERBE instruments were also launched on two National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather monitoring satellites; NOAA 9 and NOAA 10, in 1984 and 1986.\r\n\r\nThe ERBE instrument aboard ERBS, launched from the Space Shuttle Challenger in October 1984 (STS-41G), had the main aim of providing accurate measurements of incoming solar energy and shortwave and longwave radiation reflected or emitted from the Earth back into space. The other goals of the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) are:\r\n\r\n-to understand the radiation balance between the Sun, Earth, atmosphere and space which drives our weather and climate system.\r\n-to establish an accurate, long-term baseline dataset for studying climate system changes.\r\n\r\nAll of the initial goals were meet, and the ERBE instrument continues to provide valuable data. Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) data are fundamental to the development of realistic climate models and for studying natural and anthropogenic perturbations of the climate system.\r\n\r\nThis CD-ROM contains data and colour images from scanning radiometers on the three ERBE satellites and for combined satellite cases. The CD-ROM is written using the ISO-9660 standard.

This complements other long-term wind profilers in the UK, incuding the NERC Mesosphere-Stratosphere-Troposphere (MST) radar located near Absersystwyth, mid-Wales - an alternative site also used for the NCAS AMF mobile wind profiler for long-term observations.", "keywords": "NCAS, AMF, long-term observations, wind profiles", "status": "ongoing", "publicationState": "published", "identifier_set": [ "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/identifiers/3526/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/identifiers/3527/?format=api" ], "observationCollection": [ "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/observationcollections/5404/?format=api" ], "parentProject": "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/projects/876/?format=api", "subProject": [], "responsiblepartyinfo_set": [ "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/103905/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/103910/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/103906/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/23711/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/103908/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/103907/?format=api", "https://api.catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/103909/?format=api" ] } ] }
