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": 14523, "uuid": "169d754ec2d64e45a3ea55aac78bca82", "short_code": "instr", "title": "YORK-O3-CO", "abstract": "YORK-O3-CO" }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 14524, "uuid": "961e81eb5fbc4c5089f82d9c7d356fe7", "short_code": "acq", "title": "ClearFlo long term measurements at chilbolton", "abstract": "ClearFlo long term measurements at chilbolton" } } ] }, { "ob_id": 14528, "uuid": "96ffb69542634508b8969ba111a733c6", "short_code": "acq", "title": "ClearFlo: North Kensington", "abstract": "ClearFlo: North Kensington", "imageDetails": [], "mobilePlatformOperation": [], "independentInstrument": [], "instrumentplatformpair_set": [ { "ob_id": 5509, "platform": { "ob_id": 14527, "uuid": "e815d1b2f6e54bdeb535819cb1404bed", "short_code": "plat", "title": "North Kensington", "abstract": "North Kensington is an area of west London forming the northern part of Notting Hill, lying north of Notting Hill Gate and south of Harrow Road." }, "instrument": { "ob_id": 99, "uuid": "98ab5fc9e63c403792e90e6b9b69e3c8", "short_code": "instr", "title": "University of Manchester/UFAM: Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) - formerly umist-ams", "abstract": "The Aerodyne aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS) is the only currently available instrument capable of providing quantitative size and chemical mass loading information in real-time for non-refractory sub-micron aerosol particles.

The Aerodyne AMS has been deployed world-wide at fixed sites, and on mobile laboratory, ship and aircraft platforms.

Airborne measurements of aerosol and cloud properties were made concurrent with cruise JR288, using the BAS Twin Otter aircraft (MASIN) operating out of Svalbard. The campaign is the second of two to take place in the study area as part of the ACCACIA project; the first took place in March 2013 on board the ship RV Lance and the BAS MASIN and FAAM BAe146 aircraft. \r\n\r\nStations were occupied in open water and within the ice edge (mainly small floes). At each station, the following activities typically took place: \r\n1. Shallow CTD cast to sample the upper water column for analysis and use in ship-board experiments \r\n2. Deployment of sea-surface microlayer sampling boat \r\n3. Bongo nets for copepod collection \r\n3. VMP deployment \r\n4. Deep CTD cast to profile the full water column \r\n\r\nAdditional sampling from the pumped underway seawater supply also took place, and extra deployments of the VMP profiler were made between selected stations. Atmospheric measurements were made continuously, or semi-continuously. \r\n\r\nWithin ACCACIA, the aims of the research cruise were to make surface based in-situ measurements of marine aerosol composition and properties, and aerosol precursor gases (DMS, VOCs, halocarbons). Trace gases were measured in air and water, and high volume aerosol samples were collected for off-line characterisation of organic composition. Ambient aerosol measurements and bubble tank experiments were conducted to characterise aerosol physical and chemical properties using a suite of instrumentation by the Manchester group. Together with black carbon/soot optical measurements and CCN measurements made as function of particle size and super-saturation, these will be used as input in cloud microphysical models to investigate their influence on aerosol-cloud feedback sensitivity whereas bubble tank results will be used to develop a primary multicomponent sea-spray aerosol flux parameterisation." } ], "independentInstrument": [], "instrumentplatformpair_set": [ { "ob_id": 5580, "platform": { "ob_id": 14778, "uuid": "8de27c2588294d0b89af5f65379296c4", "short_code": "plat", "title": "RRS James Clark Ross Ship", "abstract": "RRS James Clark Ross (JCR), launched by HM the Queen in 1990, is primarily a marine research vessel for biological, oceanographic and geophysical cruises.

The AMS couples size-resolved particle sampling and mass spectrometric techniques into a single real-time measurement system. The Aerodyne AMS has been deployed world-wide at fixed sites, and on mobile laboratory, ship and aircraft platforms. Over 100 instruments are in use in industrial, academic and government laboratories.\r\n\r\nScientifically, the instrument can deliver quantitative mass concentrations of the major non-refractory chemical species present in submicron particles (ammonium, nitrate, sulphate, organics and non-sea-salt chloride) in microgrammes per cubic metre. It is also capable of delivering these concentrations as a function of diameter as a dM/dlog(D) distribution. Further to this, information on the chemical nature of the organic fraction can be derived by inspecting the relative sizes of the peaks within the mass spectrum. In order to produce fully quality assured and meaningful results, the data must be processed offline or near-real-time.

The AMS couples size-resolved particle sampling and mass spectrometric techniques into a single real-time measurement system. The Aerodyne AMS has been deployed world-wide at fixed sites, and on mobile laboratory, ship and aircraft platforms. Over 100 instruments are in use in industrial, academic and government laboratories.\r\n\r\nScientifically, the instrument can deliver quantitative mass concentrations of the major non-refractory chemical species present in submicron particles (ammonium, nitrate, sulphate, organics and non-sea-salt chloride) in microgrammes per cubic metre. It is also capable of delivering these concentrations as a function of diameter as a dM/dlog(D) distribution. Further to this, information on the chemical nature of the organic fraction can be derived by inspecting the relative sizes of the peaks within the mass spectrum. In order to produce fully quality assured and meaningful results, the data must be processed offline or near-real-time.

The This instrument is regularly used on the FAAM BAe 146 research aircraft. \r\n\r\nThe outputs include: the mixing ratio of peroxy acetyl nitrate (PAN).\r\n\r\nAir samples are drawn from the main sampling manifold of the aircraft via a metal bellows pump (outlet pressure of 15 psi). Containing a dual channel separation and detection system with staggered loop injection, this instrument achieves a time resolution of 90 s and a detection limit (concentration corresponding to a signal three times the noise level of the background) of 5 pptV. The expanded uncertainty of the measurements (± 2 σ) for atmospheric mixing ratios in the low pptV to mixing ratios at the ppbV level is less than 5 % on both channels. \r\n\r\nWithin the instrument, air is drawn into one of two thermostated and pressure-monitored 2 ml sample loops by a small diaphragm pump housed within the GC. Each analysis channel is equipped with a fused silica capillary column system comprising a 10 m pre-column and a 30 m analytical column (both columns have a 0.53 mm i.d. SPB-5, 1.5 micron film thickness). An electrically-actuated 10-port valve provides a back-flush facility from the pre-column, ensuring that more retained compounds do not enter the analytical column and interfere with subsequent analyses. After 90 s flushing, the analytes in the sample loop are swept onto each column in a flow of argon carrier gas. Both the column system and sample loops are thermostated in a Peltier cooled oven at 25 ºC. The instrument is equipped with two ECDs mounted in a thermostated enclosure at 50 ºC. Argon gas is also used as the ECD make-up gas. Moisture is added to the Argon gas line via a hydrated copper sulphate trap which helps to improve the baseline stability. \r\n\r\n" }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 15140, "uuid": "534c384393a94f328f4ee1b0aea095dd", "short_code": "acq", "title": "FAAM Flight B536 Acquisition", "abstract": "FAAM Flight B536 Acquisition" } }, { "ob_id": 5709, "platform": { "ob_id": 51, "uuid": "dda4596d5d374564acf8c79b7a119127", "short_code": "plat", "title": "FAAM BAe-146-301 Large Atmospheric Research Aircraft G-LUXE", "abstract": "FAAM is the result of a collaboration between the Met Office(TM) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and has been established as part of the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) to provide an aircraft measurement platform for use by all the UK atmospheric research community on campaigns throughout the world.

The This instrument is regularly used on the FAAM BAe 146 research aircraft. \r\n\r\nThe outputs include: the mixing ratio of peroxy acetyl nitrate (PAN).\r\n\r\nAir samples are drawn from the main sampling manifold of the aircraft via a metal bellows pump (outlet pressure of 15 psi). Containing a dual channel separation and detection system with staggered loop injection, this instrument achieves a time resolution of 90 s and a detection limit (concentration corresponding to a signal three times the noise level of the background) of 5 pptV. The expanded uncertainty of the measurements (± 2 σ) for atmospheric mixing ratios in the low pptV to mixing ratios at the ppbV level is less than 5 % on both channels. \r\n\r\nWithin the instrument, air is drawn into one of two thermostated and pressure-monitored 2 ml sample loops by a small diaphragm pump housed within the GC. Each analysis channel is equipped with a fused silica capillary column system comprising a 10 m pre-column and a 30 m analytical column (both columns have a 0.53 mm i.d. SPB-5, 1.5 micron film thickness). An electrically-actuated 10-port valve provides a back-flush facility from the pre-column, ensuring that more retained compounds do not enter the analytical column and interfere with subsequent analyses. After 90 s flushing, the analytes in the sample loop are swept onto each column in a flow of argon carrier gas. Both the column system and sample loops are thermostated in a Peltier cooled oven at 25 ºC. The instrument is equipped with two ECDs mounted in a thermostated enclosure at 50 ºC. Argon gas is also used as the ECD make-up gas. Moisture is added to the Argon gas line via a hydrated copper sulphate trap which helps to improve the baseline stability. \r\n\r\n" }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 15201, "uuid": "f35d539d92484827abfbae853c8aa953", "short_code": "acq", "title": "FAAM Flight B535 Acquisition", "abstract": "FAAM Flight B535 Acquisition" } }, { "ob_id": 5788, "platform": { "ob_id": 51, "uuid": "dda4596d5d374564acf8c79b7a119127", "short_code": "plat", "title": "FAAM BAe-146-301 Large Atmospheric Research Aircraft G-LUXE", "abstract": "FAAM is the result of a collaboration between the Met Office(TM) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and has been established as part of the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) to provide an aircraft measurement platform for use by all the UK atmospheric research community on campaigns throughout the world.
