To align and level the camera during the flight the operator uses the drift sight adjusting remotely the camera attitude and correcting for aircraft roll, pitch and yaw.\r\n" }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 10836, "uuid": "65ce23b62c694b8bbd5b8e1c08c76e72", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Acquisition Process for: Data from the Photographic Camera on-board the Piper PA31 Navajo Chieftain G-NERC Aircraft during Flight 90/45 over the Winchester Wheat Fields Area", "abstract": "This acquisition is comprised of the following: INSTRUMENTS: ARSF WILD-RC8 Analogue Photographic camera; PLATFORMS: Piper PA31 Navajo Chieftain G-NERC Aircraft; " } } ] }, { "ob_id": 10840, "uuid": "0bd73f0c2bdb4f7aaa92b6ba5b8d2c2e", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Acquisition Process for: Data from the Photographic Camera, CASI-2 and AISA Eagle and Hawk Instruments on-board the Dornier Do228-101 D-CALM Aircraft during Flight GB07/07 over the Inverclyde Area", "abstract": "This acquisition is comprised of the following: INSTRUMENTS: ARSF Compact Airbone Spectrographic Imager 2 (CASI-2), ARSF WILD-RC10 Analogue Photographic camera, ARSF Specim AISA Hawk, ARSF Specim AISA Eagle; PLATFORMS: Dornier Do228-101 D-CALM; ", "imageDetails": [], "mobilePlatformOperation": [ { "ob_id": 6410, "uuid": "eb9f0ae42c1c4d87b2bd72543b1be671", "short_code": "mpop", "title": "Mobile Platform Operation for: Dornier Do228-101 D-CALM", "abstract": "Mobile Platform Operation related to the: Dornier Do228-101 D-CALM" } ], "independentInstrument": [], "instrumentplatformpair_set": [ { "ob_id": 3832, "platform": { "ob_id": 6394, "uuid": "d2c5c36981824b71a98a2906394d61f3", "short_code": "plat", "title": "NERC ARSF Dornier Do228-101 D-CALM Aircraft", "abstract": "NERC leased Dornier 228 twin prop converted airliner\r\n\r\nDornier 228 D-CALM is a medium tropospheric research aircraft operated by NERC, UK.

This design has, among other things, enabled the accurate measurement of sea surface temperature to an accuracy of +/- 0.3K.\r\n\r\nThe ATSR1 instrument has four channels at wavelengths of 1.6um (visible) and three thermal bands at 3.7um, 11um, and 12um.\r\n\r\nThe ATSR instruments are novel in that they incorporate 2 views into each swath scan. Satellite measurements of the temperature of the surface of the Earth are inevitably affected by the passage of the radiation through the atmosphere. The dual view design of ATSR makes it possible to estimate and correct for these atmospheric effects. The two views result from the instrument's conical scanning mechanism. Each scan takes readings from the nadir position and then sweeps round to take measurements from a point about 900Km along the satellite's track. A few minutes after acquiring the forward view, the satellite passes over the same spot and takes readings for the nadir view. As the two views of the same scene are taken through different atmospheric path lengths, it is possible to calculate a correction for the effect of atmospheric absorption.\r\n\r\nThe ATSR instruments are also self calibrating.

Through a combination of long-term observations and tailored operations it provides national capability for the study of clouds, rainfall, boundary-layer processes and aerosols, and is particularly well suited as a site for hosting field campaigns involving visiting instruments.\r\n\r\nThe CAO site is located one mile south of Chilbolton Village, 6 miles south of Andover, Hampshire. The site was used as an airfield during the Second World War and is relatively flat and slightly elevated above the surrounding area.\r\n\r\nThe observatory operates more than twenty major instruments, many continuously, while others are available on-demand according to user configuration requirements. The portfolio includes a powerful combination of dual-polarisation Doppler radars, lidars, radiometers, and supporting instruments; the continuous round-the-clock operation of lidar and cloud radar instruments at Chilbolton is unique within the UK. These are supplemented by a suite of meteorological instrumentation including rain gauges, and disdrometers. A multi-wavelength sun photometer provides continuous measurements of aerosol optical depth in clear skies, and contributes to the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET).\r\n\r\nThe Chilbolton Advanced Meteorological Radar (CAMRa) is mounted on a 25-metre, fully steerable antenna, and is able to probe clouds and storms with unparalleled sensitivity and resolution. In addition, zenith-pointing polarimetric, Doppler 35 GHz and 94 GHz cloud radars are routinely operated for detailed microphysical studies of cloud processes and cloud climatology. A transportable, scanning 35 GHz cloud radar system is also hosted at Chilbolton, further enhancing the available capability.\r\n\r\nChilbolton was one of the pilot cloud profiling sites for the CLOUDNET project, and continues to make observations that feed into the Aerosol Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure (ACTRIS). Capability at the site will be enhanced in the next few years, with the incorporation of a Raman lidar, with the ambition being for this to form an ACTRIS observational platform for aerosol profiling.\r\n\r\nThe presence (since January 2016) of a Defra air quality monitoring supersite at the observatory site (providing rural background measurements as part of national and transboundary networks) offers the research community further excellent opportunities for intercomparison campaigns and instrument evaluation.\r\n\r\nWIGOS id: \r\n0-826-300-3\r\n0-826-300-4\r\n0-826-300-5\r\n\r\nThe Met Office also operated a boundary layer wind profiler at the site (now operated by NCAS AMOF), for which the site was given a WMO ID 03754." }, "instrument": { "ob_id": 11023, "uuid": "feca9dc63c954cc6a4b9bb5aa48fc480", "short_code": "instr", "title": "Chilbolton Facility for Atmospheric and Radio Research (CFARR) Direct Visible radiometer", "abstract": "The Kipp & Zonen CHP1 pyrheliometer uses a thermopile to measure the solar irradiance received from the direction of the sun.

The International Foundation High Altitude Research Stations Jungfraujoch and Gornergrat (HFSJG) runs the research station and provides the infrastructure and support for scientific research. Due to its unique place, the year-round accessibility, and the excellent infrastructure, the Jungfraujoch research station is well suited for long-term ground-based monitoring of trace gas concentrations trends in the free troposphere. Due to its location in central Europe and its proximity to anthropogenic greenhouse gas source regions it is also an appropriate study site for European regional source allocations during pollution events. The research activities of EMPA at the Jungfraujoch are conducted within the scope of the Swiss National Air Pollution Monitoring Network (NABEL) funded by the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) and the Global Atmosphere Watch Program (GAW) of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The measurement programme at Jungfraujoch includes continuous in-situ analyses of ozone (O3), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and the sum of nitrogen oxides (NOy). In addition, an extended set of halocarbons and a selection of VOCs (alkanes, aromatics) are measured with a time resolution of four hours since 2000 as a part of SOGE. Daily samples are taken for determination of gaseous SO2 and for particulate sulphur.

A three point scanning algorithm is supplied for automated wind profile measurement: profiles of wind speed and direction can be obtained at a minimum of once every two minutes. Signal analysis, data retrievals, and data storage are performed by a PC system on-board the instrument. Users can operate the instrument remotely via the internet (not wireless) that is: users can program custom scan patterns and monitor performance. The operational software allows the user to test out head positions for a scan, level the instrument, and schedule how often the LiDAR comes out of its default operation (vertical observation or STARE Mode) to perform an operation. An internal GPS provides accurate system timing and instrument position while the extended temperature facility provides an operational temperature range of -20°C to 40°C: at temperature > 40°C this the system will automatically shutdown.\r\n\r\nThis instrument was subsequently converted into the instrument now operated by NCAS AMF as their Halo Doppler Lidar no 1." }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 11173, "uuid": "01abb7ef3c2248bc8bd4de92712665b1", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Acquisition Process for: Data from Salford/UFAM: Doppler Lidar at Shoeburyness, UK for the Universities Facility for Atmospheric Measurement (UFAM) Project", "abstract": "This acquisition is comprised of the following: INSTRUMENTS: Salford/UFAM: Doppler Lidar; PLATFORMS: Shoeburyness, UK; " } } ] }, { "ob_id": 11179, "uuid": "b3c13d922a2f43bfa2b71ad3ef2d58a8", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Acquisition Process for: Data from Leicester: Spectral Radiometer j(O1D) at Bukit Atur for the OP3-1 Campaign", "abstract": "This acquisition is comprised of the following: INSTRUMENTS: Leicester: Spectral Radiometer j(O1D); PLATFORMS: Bukit Atur; ", "imageDetails": [], "mobilePlatformOperation": [], "independentInstrument": [], "instrumentplatformpair_set": [ { "ob_id": 3883, "platform": { "ob_id": 65, "uuid": "ddb404d1e6114c70bac63abaad550d4e", "short_code": "plat", "title": "Bukit Atur", "abstract": "The Bukit Atur GAW station" }, "instrument": { "ob_id": 315, "uuid": "6e6a11c756bf49e48dca59ca002f351b", "short_code": "instr", "title": "Leicester: Spectral Radiometer j(O1D)", "abstract": "Instrument.abstract: DETAILS NEEDED" }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 11179, "uuid": "b3c13d922a2f43bfa2b71ad3ef2d58a8", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Acquisition Process for: Data from Leicester: Spectral Radiometer j(O1D) at Bukit Atur for the OP3-1 Campaign", "abstract": "This acquisition is comprised of the following: INSTRUMENTS: Leicester: Spectral Radiometer j(O1D); PLATFORMS: Bukit Atur; " } } ] }, { "ob_id": 11183, "uuid": "e1c7536269704f2f96f1e43c62e8a6d0", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Acquisition Process for: Data from Automatic Weather Station (AWS) at MIDAS Global weather stations for the Met Office", "abstract": "This acquisition is comprised of the following: INSTRUMENTS: Automatic Weather Station (AWS); PLATFORMS: MIDAS Global weather stations; ", "imageDetails": [], "mobilePlatformOperation": [], "independentInstrument": [], "instrumentplatformpair_set": [ { "ob_id": 3884, "platform": { "ob_id": 11182, "uuid": "208cd99813da4094ae90e4cf3faadf7c", "short_code": "plat", "title": "MIDAS Global weather stations", "abstract": "Global weather stations in MIDAS, including stations in Africa, Europe, Antarctica, North, Central, and South America, Asia, and South-west Pacific." }, "instrument": { "ob_id": 1061, "uuid": "a2f40afd5f054601a037d48a9aac17e9", "short_code": "instr", "title": "Automatic Weather Station (AWS)", "abstract": "An automatic weather station (AWS) is an automated version of the traditional weather station, either to save human labour or to enable measurements from remote areas.

The International Foundation High Altitude Research Stations Jungfraujoch and Gornergrat (HFSJG) runs the research station and provides the infrastructure and support for scientific research. Due to its unique place, the year-round accessibility, and the excellent infrastructure, the Jungfraujoch research station is well suited for long-term ground-based monitoring of trace gas concentrations trends in the free troposphere. Due to its location in central Europe and its proximity to anthropogenic greenhouse gas source regions it is also an appropriate study site for European regional source allocations during pollution events. The research activities of EMPA at the Jungfraujoch are conducted within the scope of the Swiss National Air Pollution Monitoring Network (NABEL) funded by the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) and the Global Atmosphere Watch Program (GAW) of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The measurement programme at Jungfraujoch includes continuous in-situ analyses of ozone (O3), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and the sum of nitrogen oxides (NOy). In addition, an extended set of halocarbons and a selection of VOCs (alkanes, aromatics) are measured with a time resolution of four hours since 2000 as a part of SOGE. Daily samples are taken for determination of gaseous SO2 and for particulate sulphur. The concentrations of total suspended particles are continuously observed as well as measured as 48-hour bulk samples. Measurements of methane, nitrous oxide and sulphur hexafluoride were commenced in February 2005 funded by the FOEN. Therefore, the whole set of non-CO2 greenhouse gases is now continuously monitored at the Jungfraujoch." }, "instrument": { "ob_id": 315, "uuid": "6e6a11c756bf49e48dca59ca002f351b", "short_code": "instr", "title": "Leicester: Spectral Radiometer j(O1D)", "abstract": "Instrument.abstract: DETAILS NEEDED" }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 11326, "uuid": "a82e936d265b426c8d4202af7e085c11", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Acquisition Process for: Data from Leicester: Spectral Radiometer j(O1D) at Jungfraujoch, Switzerland for the ACSOE (Atmosphere Chemistry Studies in the Oceanic Environment) - OXIdising Capacity of the Ocean Atmosphere (OXICOA) Campaign", "abstract": "This acquisition is comprised of the following: INSTRUMENTS: Leicester: Spectral Radiometer j(O1D); PLATFORMS: Jungfraujoch, Switzerland; " } } ] }, { "ob_id": 11329, "uuid": "cbd6eba17fdc441797beba8ede98e779", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Acquisition Process for: Data from Reading University Observatory: 3-cup anemometer and wind vane at Reading University Atmospheric Observatory for the UTLS-OZONE NERC Research Programme Project", "abstract": "This acquisition is comprised of the following: INSTRUMENTS: Reading University Observatory: 3-cup anemometer and wind vane; PLATFORMS: Reading University Atmospheric Observatory; ", "imageDetails": [], "mobilePlatformOperation": [], "independentInstrument": [], "instrumentplatformpair_set": [ { "ob_id": 3921, "platform": { "ob_id": 1878, "uuid": "dad6ee58123d405cb3d7afa5f3d29d7d", "short_code": "plat", "title": "University of Reading Atmospheric Observatory", "abstract": "The University of Reading Atmospheric Observatory has been a centre for atmospheric measurements and meteorological observations since 1970, continuing records which began originally at the University College of Reading in 1900.
