                "abstract": "ATSR-1 was launched as part of the payload of ESA's ERS-1 satellite on 17th July 1991, and was the test-bed for the along track scanning concept.\r\n\r\nEach ATSR instrument has been designed for exceptional sensitivity and stability of calibration, which are achieved through the incorporation of several innovative features in the instrument design. 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."

A parabolic antenna 79 cm in diameter reflected microwave emissions into a five-frequency feed horn. The antenna beam maintained a constant nadir angle of 42 degrees, resulting in an incidence angle of 50.3 degrees at Earth's surface. The antenna was forward viewing and rotated equally +/- 25 degrees about the satellite subtrack. The 50 degree scan provided a 780 km swath of the Earth's surface. Scan period was 4.096 seconds."

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."

This allows time for new radon progeny to form. 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. Using the flow rate and the count rate the atmospheric 222Rn concentrations can be calculated.\r\n\r\nThe instrument is operated at the Weybourne Atmospheric Observatory continuously."

Prior to April 2020 it known as the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) MST Radar Facility at Aberystwyth (MSTRF). The National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) operates a number of meteorological instruments at the site in support of its long term measurement programme. Most of the datasets span between 10 and 20 years. They are all openly-accessible through the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA). NCAS also provides access to output from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) mesoscale model for this location.\r\n\r\nThe facility host a range of atmospheric instruments including the UK's MST radar, surface meteorological instrumentation and lidars. The facility is also able to host guest instruments. The facility was officially opened on 12th November 1990. The facility also operates instrumentation at the nearby Frongoch site.\r\n\r\nIt has WMO site ID: 03501. See linked documentation for the site's entry in the MIDAS Station database.\r\n\r\nThe site is located at 45m above mean sea level. Prior to February 2020 the height of the site was given as 50m above mean sea-level.\r\n\r\nSite WIGOS id: 0-826-300-1 for ceilometer data (also know as 'ALC' data) and 0-826-300-2 for wind profiler network data. Prior to this a temporary WIGIS id 0-20000-0-03501 was used. (Note, these WIGOS IDs were specifically assigned to the production of the ceilometer data from this site. Alternative WIGOS IDs have been provided for the site for other data types).\r\n\r\nSite WIGOS id: 0-826-300-1.

                "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. 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"

The antenna beam maintained a constant nadir angle of 42 degrees, resulting in an incidence angle of 50.3 degrees at Earth's surface. The antenna was forward viewing and rotated equally +/- 25 degrees about the satellite subtrack. The 50 degree scan provided a 780 km swath of the Earth's surface. Scan period was 4.096 seconds."
