Approximately 1.2 m of snow accumulate each year on the Brunt Ice Shelf and buildings on the surface become covered and eventually crushed by snow. This part of the ice shelf is also moving westward by approximately 700m per year. There have been six Halley bases built so far. The first four were all buried by snow accumulation and crushed until they were uninhabitable. Various construction methods were tried, from unprotected wooden huts to steel tunnels. Halley V had the main buildings built on steel platforms that were raised annually to keep them above the snow surface. However, as the station’s legs were fixed in the ice it could not be moved and its occupation became precarious, having flowed too far from the mainland to a position at risk of calving as an iceberg." }, "instrument": { "ob_id": 912, "uuid": "e0c08343c2a74974a912ccb96f514130", "short_code": "instr", "title": "Radiosonde", "abstract": "The radiosonde is a lightweight, balloon-borne instrument that measures profiles of pressure, temperature and humidity from the ground to approximately 40km.The radiosonde is equipped with a radio transmitter for sending the measurements to the observing station." }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 1352, "uuid": "838b8d485a654bddbef8b2a7a93d2e49", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Acquisition Process for: British Antarctic Survey: high resolution radiosonde data from the Halley station", "abstract": "This acquisition is comprised of the following: INSTRUMENTS: Radiosonde; PLATFORMS: British Antarctic Survey's Halley station; " } } ] }, { "ob_id": 1356, "uuid": "0866186274094efc9bd685a843f976a5", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Acquisition Process for: British Antarctic Survey: high resolution radiosonde data from the Rothera station", "abstract": "This acquisition is comprised of the following: INSTRUMENTS: Radiosonde; PLATFORMS: British Antarctic Survey's Rothera Station; ", "imageDetails": [], "mobilePlatformOperation": [], "independentInstrument": [], "instrumentplatformpair_set": [ { "ob_id": 624, "platform": { "ob_id": 1355, "uuid": "a34ae8dc70e541ac941bcdfee012ca5b", "short_code": "plat", "title": "British Antarctic Survey's Rothera Station", "abstract": "The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) Research station at Rothera is the principal BAS logistics centre for support of Antarctic field science.

Weybourne is operated by the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia (UEA) having been established in 1992 by Professor Stuart Penkett (retired 2004) with funding from BP (Norway) plc and NERC. Subsequently, long term monitoring and campaigns have been supported through numerous projects funded by NERC, Department of the Environment (DoE, Defra) and the EU. NCAS has also supported the site since 2002. Much of the instrumentation has come from HEFCE JIF and SRIF funds.\r\n\r\nWeybourne’s location means that it experiences air with a wide range of pollution levels. Predominant south-westerlies bring polluted air from the UK (including from London and the Midlands). At times, especially in anticyclonic conditions, Weybourne experiences polluted air from Europe. Weybourne can also receive clean background air in northerly air flow. This can be impacted by narrow pollution plumes from shipping in the N. Sea, and potentially gas platforms. Many successful campaigns have been hosted at Weybourne to examine oxidizing capacity, organic chemistry, carbonaceous particles, night-time chemistry and cloud impacts on radiation. In addition to the permanent building (see photo) there is adequate power and space to support instrumented mobile labs and containers. The site is also used by the wider community for instrument testing." }, "instrument": { "ob_id": 1417, "uuid": "6677116482304866b881a0028af44eee", "short_code": "instr", "title": "NCAS AMOF Degreane 1290mhz Mobile Wind Profiler Radar", "abstract": "The NCAS AMOF Degreane Mobile Wind Profiler was designed and manufactured by Degreane Horizon. It is a clear-air UHF Doppler radar system operating at 1290 MHz to measure signal intensity and wind speed and direction under all weather conditions. At this frequency clear-air scattering (from refractive index inhomogeneities) dominates the radar signal return in the absence of hydrometeors, and the signal power is a measure of turbulent intensity. \r\n\r\nThe wind profiler consists of three panels to emit and receive three separate beams, a vertical beam from the central panel and two other beams orthogonal to the central beam at an elevation of 73 degrees to enable full wind vectors to be calculated. Each panel is an array of eight aerials, each consisting of an assembly of eight collinear dipoles. \r\n\r\nThe radar is usually operated in two modes: a low altitude mode with a 1000 ns pulse and a high altitude mode with a 2500 ns pulse. The radar typically returns wind profiles from around 100 to 2500 m and can be used to measure the depth of the convective boundary layer and the position of atmospheric convective \"lids\". The measurement frequency may vary depending on set up for the instrument deployment, but data archived with the British Atmospheric Data Centre are typically averaged over 15 minutes. The averaging period used for the data is indicated in the archived data. \r\n\r\nThis instrument has been referred to with various titles during its operating history including: UFAM (Universities Facility for Atmospheric Measurement) mobile wind profiler, FGAM (Facility for Ground based Atmospheric Measurements) mobile wind profiler, Aberystwyth mobile wind profiler and University of Manchester mobile wind profiler and the Atmospheric Measurements Facility (AMF) mobile wind profiler.
