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. Rather than relying on pre launch calibration, the ATSR instrument has two on-board black bodies at known temperatures. Radiation from these is measured during each scan and used to provide a continuous re-calibration of the instrument. This makes it possible to determine single channel equivalent temperatures correct to +/- 0.05K." }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 27431, "uuid": "b523533a42a34f848d56335b61c27c21", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Aquisition process for the ESA CCI SST (A)ATSR dataset", "abstract": "The ESA Climate Change Initiative Sea Surface Temperature (SST) product has retrieved sea surface temperature from the (A)ATSR series of satellite instruments." } } ] }, { "ob_id": 27441, "uuid": "22372b427e2a424f804ba78f3b31dce7", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Acquisition for: Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements: South Asian whole air sample halocarbon measurements", "abstract": "Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements: South Asian whole air sample halocarbon measurements", "imageDetails": [], "mobilePlatformOperation": [ { "ob_id": 20290, "uuid": "8787c9b826ec424e9f8b9572b7720c34", "short_code": "mpop", "title": "FAAM BAE-147 flight B969", "abstract": "Flight details for FAAM BAE-146 aircraft flight number B969.

This record links to datasets produced using the 'ncas-disdrometer-13' instrument and any specific details for this instrument that have been recorded. Each instrument is a Thies™ Laser Precipitation Monitor (LPM), model number 5.4110.00.200, and is described in detail by Pickering et al. (2019, see linked documentation). The full instrument operational manual is also available via the linked documentation. The suite of instruments was initially deployed as part of the Disdrometer Verification Network (DiVeN) project.\r\n \r\nThe Thies LPM instrument utilises an infrared (785 nm) beam with dimensions 228 mm x 20 mm x 0.75mm, a total horizontal area of 45.6cm^2. The infrared beam is emitted from one end of the instrument and is directed to the other. A photo-diode and signal processor determine the optical characteristics including optical intensity which is reduced as a particle falls through the beam. The diameter of the hydrometeor is inferred by the maximum amplitude of the signal reduction and the speed of the hydrometeor is estimated by the duration of the signal reduction.\r\n\r\nFigure 1 in Löffler-Mang and Joss (2000) describes a similar instrument (Parsivel-1) with the same observing principle and is an excellent visualisation of the technique which is employed by the Thies LPM. The signal processing claims to detect and remove particles that fall on the edge of the beam: \"The measured values are processed by a signal processor (DSP), and checked for plausibility (e.g. edge hits).\" No further details are given by the manufacturer. The instrument is able to allocate individual hydrometeors into 20 diameter bins from 0.125 mm to > 8 mm, and 22 speed bins from > 0.0 m s^-1 to > 20 m s^-1.\r\n\r\nThe Thies disdrometer performs additional calculations on the incoming data which it attaches to the Telegram 4 serial output. The quantity, intensity, and type of precipitation (drizzle, rain, snow, ice, grains, soft hail, hail as well as combinations of multiple types) are calculated. Hydrometeor type is recorded as a present weather code. The present weather code is encoded as a number between 1-99 which has a corresponding description of the weather using the standardised codes from the World Meteorological Organization Table 4860 (WMO, 1988). The present weather descriptors cover most hydrometeor types but not all; graupel is not explicitly mentioned, for example. Hydrometeor type is inferred by the instrument, using empirical relationships between hydrometeor size and fall speed." }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 27597, "uuid": "64f1ddbfa9ed448d9785f4fb05b8c1f6", "short_code": "acq", "title": "DiVeN Disdrometer Network", "abstract": "DiVeN Disdrometer Network" } } ] }, { "ob_id": 27610, "uuid": "853cfd415d7c47c591fc7e9bcd724365", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Global gas flaring activity from the ATSR (1991-2012) and SLSTR (2017-2018) sensors", "abstract": "Global gas flaring activity from the ATSR (1991-2012) and SLSTR (2017-2018) sensors", "imageDetails": [], "mobilePlatformOperation": [ { "ob_id": 2748, "uuid": "fe60ed00c6f54796af3beeb750068713", "short_code": "mpop", "title": "Mobile Platform Operation for: European Remote Sensing satellite 2 (ERS-2)", "abstract": "Mobile Platform Operation related to the: European Remote Sensing satellite 2 (ERS-2)" }, { "ob_id": 7807, "uuid": "a27cd0df0a124f2ca5873877e21f637e", "short_code": "mpop", "title": "Mobile Platform Operation for: ERS-1", "abstract": "Mobile Platform Operation related to the: ERS-1" } ], "independentInstrument": [], "instrumentplatformpair_set": [ { "ob_id": 12174, "platform": { "ob_id": 7805, "uuid": "d21630e98aa74a4f8406743b74e5d076", "short_code": "plat", "title": "ERS-1", "abstract": "The European Remote Sensing satellite 1 (ERS1) was launched on 17th July 1991 and was the first flight of the RSA ERS program.

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. Rather than relying on pre launch calibration, the ATSR instrument has two on-board black bodies at known temperatures. Radiation from these is measured during each scan and used to provide a continuous re-calibration of the instrument.

Measurements of O3, CO, NO, NO2, NOy and VOCs began at the site in October 2006. Chemical characterisation of aerosol measurements and flask sampling of greenhouse gases began in November 2006, halocarbon measurements in May 2007, and physical measurements of aerosol in June 2008. On-line measurements of greenhouse gases began in October 2008.\r\n\r\nThe CVAO is a World Meteorological Organisation-Global Atmospheric Watch (WMO-GAW) global station and quality-assured atmospheric data for use by both UK and German scientists, and the wider international community are regularly deposited at both the WMO-GAW and Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) data archives. The Universities of York, Bristol and Leeds provide the CVAO trace gas measurements, supported by the Natural Environmental Research Council (NERC) through the Atmospheric Measurement & Observation Facility (AMOF). The Max-Planck-Institut für Biogeochemie, Jena, Germany (MPIB Jena) make the greenhouse gas measurements, and the Leibniz-Institut für Troposphärenforschung, Leipzig, Germany (IfT) measure various characteristics of aerosol. Collaboration is also with the Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia e Geofísica, São Vicente (INMG), who provide logistical support and employ staff at the CVAO.

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.

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": 30174, "uuid": "bfa9cf69515f4e29bc45e5956c3a4e26", "short_code": "instr", "title": "Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisations (ANSTO) 1500L low-level radon monitor", "abstract": "The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisations (ANSTO) 1500L low-level radon monitor provides a unique technology for highly sensitive measurements of atmospheric radon (< 100 mBq m-3) and is recognised by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) as the best in the world for global and atmospheric compositional baseline studies.\r\n\r\nThe ANSTO dual-flow-loop two-filter works by removing all ambient radon (222Rn) and thoron (220Rn) progeny in the sampled air from the airstream using a filter before the air passes into a large delay volume to allow for the decay of the short-lived isotope 220Rn.\r\n\r\nThe sample air in the detector is passed through a flow loop at a flow rate designed to exchange the delay volume's air in approximately 20 minutes.

A second flow loop circulates the volume of the delay chamber through the second filter (a low-impedance 625 mesh stainless steel screen) to collect all 218Po progeny. The newly formed progeny are collected on the second filter and their decays are counted with a ZnS-photomultiplier system.
