It has been operational since 1985 as part of a variety of different monitoring networks, including being one of two two Level III 'supersites' located in the UK of the EMEP (the Co-operative Programme for Monitoring and Evaluation of the Long-range Transmission of Air Pollutants in Europe) monitoring network. Hourly and daily measurements are supplemented by long-term integrated measurements from existing DEFRA-funded monitoring networks across the UK (http://www.nilu.no/projects/ccc/network/index.html) Auchencorth Moss is the northern of these two sites (the other is near Harwell, Oxfordshire), which has been used by the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology for several years as an intensive monitoring site for trace gas and particle concentrations and fluxes. The site is based in an area of upland deep peat, with heather and grass cover, and has an extensive fetch to the south-west. The site is located at 55.792160 N, 3.242900W (OS Grid map reference: NT 322166, 656128) and at an altitude of 260m above mean sea level. The site is mostly funded by DEFRA but with significant CEH support, part-funded by EU ACTRIS Programme. The CEH field team carry out routine monitoring work for DEFRA and other funding agency contracts. Intermittent research activities are carried out by scientists both from CEH and other UK and international organisations. As a result of the large number of parameter measured at the site it is part of a wide range of monitoring networks. For details of these networks visit the DEFRA station details page. Details of individual activities should be found either on relevant databases (including the BADC) or by contacting CEH for further information. The station's UK-AIR ID is UKA00451 and its EU Site ID (EMEP network identifier) is GB0048R." }, "instrument": { "ob_id": 30615, "uuid": "2ab86dc13efb42c192b4b1942f02cd0b", "short_code": "instr", "title": "UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology j(NO2) 4-pi filter radiometer", "abstract": "Measured broadband j(NO2) photolysis rate constants from down- and upwelling directions at Auchencorth Moss." }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 30614, "uuid": "e9d23ef7634d469a87b25297a88ea3d5", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Acquisition for: Hourly averaged 4-pi filter radiometer measurements at Auchencorth Moss (21/11/2018 - 20/11/2019) near Edinburgh (UK)", "abstract": "Acquisition for: Hourly averaged 4-pi filter radiometer measurements at Auchencorth Moss (21/11/2018 - 20/11/2019) near Edinburgh (UK)" } }, { "ob_id": 12340, "platform": { "ob_id": 12460, "uuid": "d716b34f2dee47128e93691f70b8dff0", "short_code": "plat", "title": "Met Office Weather Station, Camborne, UK", "abstract": "The Met Office operate a weather station (WMO id 03808) near Camborne, Cornwall, located 87m above mean sea level in Cornwall, south-west UK.

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": 12250, "uuid": "792da2ff61f647aa8021b4b9c06702a9", "short_code": "instr", "title": "NCAS Atmospheric Measurement Facility's (AMOF) mobile X-band radar 1", "abstract": "The National Centre for Atmospheric Science Atmospheric Measurement Facility's (NCAS AMOF) mobile X-band radar operates in the X-band (frequency = 9.375 GHz, wavelength = 3 cm). It has Doppler and dual-polarisation capability. The radar measures the location and intensity of precipitation, radial winds and polarisation parameters. It works by transmitting pulses of electromagnetic radiation and measuring the amount of energy backscattered to the receiver. The time delay between the transmitted and received pulses enables the range of the object to be determined. In the case of precipitation, the magnitude of the backscattered signal is proportional to the size and number of raindrops. The radar also measures the radial velocity through the Doppler effect. In the absence of precipitation, the radar is sensitive to backscattering from insects, known as clear-air echoes, at close range. These signals provide information on the wind field and the organisation of the boundary-layer e.g. features such as convergence lines can be identified. In addition, the radar has dual-polarisation capability; it simultaneously transmits and receives horizontally- and vertically- polarised waves. Through this technique the radar measures a number of additional variables that provide information on the size and shape of precipitation, identification of non-meteorological echoes, attenuation (a decrease in the signal strength due to the absorption and scattering of the radar signal as it propagates through heavy rain), and alternative methods for calculating rainfall rates. \r\n\r\nThe system has a conventional parabolic antenna of 2.4m diameter and a beamwidth of 1 degree (in the horizontal and vertical), and is operated without a radome. The range resolution is tunable and dependent on the user-selected pulse width (0.5, 1 or 2 micro seconds) and pulse repetition frequency (PRF, 250-2000 Hz). The radar is fully transportable, being mounted on a trailer approved for EU roads that can be towed by a 4x4 vehicle. Signal analysis, data retrievals and data storage are performed by PCs contained within the trailer unit. The radar can be operated via a laptop that connects by wireless, ethernet or 3G to the onboard PCs. The operational software allows the user to set up the radar for deployment and schedule the scanning sequence.
