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": 4548, "uuid": "1a5bd51e29a54ee3b76e1d0d173d6568", "short_code": "instr", "title": "Drop-counting raingauge", "abstract": "Drop-counting raingauge are capable of measuring high intensity rainfall at a very high temporal resolution." }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 4555, "uuid": "49fc47488ab4487cafef868a3ebc0f7c", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Acquisition Process for: Drop-counting raingauge at the Chilbolton Observatory, UK, for the HYREX project", "abstract": "This acquisition is comprised of the following: INSTRUMENTS: Drop-counting raingauge; PLATFORMS: Chilbolton Facility for Atmospheric and Radio Research (CFARR), UK; " } }, { "ob_id": 1386, "platform": { "ob_id": 1809, "uuid": "e43da72c118e44ec811c395aa05a16be", "short_code": "plat", "title": "NOAA-14", "abstract": "NOAA polar orbiting satellite which operated during the period 30 December 1994 to Febraury 2001." }, "instrument": { "ob_id": 1802, "uuid": "adfffcff783c4b26ac9640ef4b141196", "short_code": "instr", "title": "Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer 2 (AVHRR/2)", "abstract": "The AVHRR is a radiation-detection imager that can be used for remotely determining cloud cover and the surface temperature.

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.

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\".

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. The instrument is presently operated as part of the National Centre for Atmospheric Science's (NCAS) Atmospheric Measurements and Observations Facility (AMOF) and is known as the NCAS mobile wind profiler 1, with designation ncas-wind-profiler-1.\r\n\r\nFor full operation details refer to the instrument details on the AMF website.\r\n\r\nSpecifications of the UFAM wind profiler\r\nTransmitter Frequency\t1290 MHz\r\nTransmitter Bandwidth\t10 MHz\r\nBeam Width\t8.5°\r\nPeak Power\t3500 W\r\nAperture\t4 m2\r\nAntenna gain\t25 dBi\r\nAverage power 'low altitude mode'\t40 W\r\nAverage power 'high altitude mode'\t100 W\r\nMinimum height\t75 m\r\nMaximum height\t4.5 - 8 km dependent on atmospheric conditions and pulse length\r\nResolution dependent on pulse width\t75 m to 375 m\r\nInstrinsic wind speed accuracy\t< 1m/s\r\nInstrinsic wind direction accuracy\t< 10°\r\nPeriodicity of profile computation\t15 minutes as standard, but adjustable from 1 minute\r\nOperational temperature\t-20 °C to 30 °C\r\nOperational relative humidity\t5% to 95 % without condensation\r\nResistance to wind\t20 m/s (average) 40 m/s (gusts)\r\nPower supply\t230 V +10% -15 %, single phase" }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 4761, "uuid": "073a212ef776451d84b4a21e44f0f24e", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Acquisition Process for: Vertical wind profile data from the Universities' Facility for Atmospheric Measurement's (UFAM) 1290mhz Degreane Mobile Wind Profiler from Linkenholt, Hampshire, UK, during the Convective Storm Initiation Project (CSIP) field campaign, 2005", "abstract": "This acquisition is comprised of the following: INSTRUMENTS: University of Manchester Degreane 1290mhz Mobile Wind Profiler Radar - formerly aber-radar-1290mhz; PLATFORMS: Linkenholt, UK; " } }, { "ob_id": 1438, "platform": { "ob_id": 817, "uuid": "0d60dd064b6449b09f5c7fd4c41bd693", "short_code": "plat", "title": "NCAS Chilbolton Atmospheric Observatory (CAO)", "abstract": "The National Centre for Atmospheric Science's Chilbolton Atmospheric Observatory, formerly known as the Chilbolton Facility for Atmospheric and Radio Research (CFARR), is hosted by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) in rural Hampshire in the South of England.

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": 4625, "uuid": "1951c119edd84831a273be837c8964fa", "short_code": "instr", "title": "Leeds: Automatic Weather Station", "abstract": "16 of these were deployed for CSIP.
