The cabin is set in approximately 2 acres of grassland with established trees to the North and East, ca 10 km south of Edinburgh (55.862281,-3.205782). The cabin was installed in the 1980s for the then Institute of Terrestrial Ecology (now UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology), with a basic measurements of total global solar radiation, rainfall, air temperature, wind direction and wind speed at ca 4 m. Initially these were not electronically recorded but in 1988 a Campbell Scientfic data logger was added to allow the automatic reading and recording of the data. Various other sensors were added over the years with the logging system being upgraded as the technology developed. In the early 2000's a taller mast was installed with the sensors at ca 8 m to reduce the influence of the mature trees surrounding the field. The site is been part of national monitoring networks, https://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/interactive-map\r\n\r\nEaster Bush is located in South East Scotland, 10 km south of Edinburgh (03°02′W, 55°52′N, 190 m above sea level). The fields have been under permanent grassland managementt for more than 20 years with a species composition of >99% perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) and < 0.5% clover (Trifolium repens). The soil type is an imperfectly drained Eutric Cambisol (FAO classification) with a pH of 5.1 (in H2O), a clay fraction of 20-26% (Clayey Loam to Sandy Loam) and a soil organic carbon content of 4% (0-10 cm depth). The grassland is grazed by cows, ewes and lambs at different stocking densities and has been cut for silage in some years. The instrumentation sits on the boundary between two fields, labelled north and south, although the fence line runs down from the NW to SE.)The field site was established in 2001 for the EU GRAMINAE project (GRAMINAE: A new Initiative to Examine Biosphere-Atmosphere Interactions of Ammonia with Grasslands across Europe which looked at ammonia exchange and has hosted many projects since then, with a of core meteorological sensors" }, "instrument": { "ob_id": 46043, "uuid": "9a4a6f7d13444aef9c18dd40a95e6dc0", "short_code": "instr", "title": "Bush Cabin Meteorological Instruments", "abstract": "Compilation of main sonic anemometer (Gill Windmaster), secondary sonic (Metek USA-1) and wind vane sensors (Vector Instruments)" }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 46042, "uuid": "f63a2db39229431aad3cc9ffcd496185", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Acquisition for Bush Cabin field site Meteorological measurements", "abstract": "Acquisition for Bush Cabin field site Meteorological measurements" } }, { "ob_id": 14800, "platform": { "ob_id": 26990, "uuid": "3478f3a96c7e4610a1973a535ee6439e", "short_code": "plat", "title": "Sentinel 3B", "abstract": "Sentinel 3B was launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) to become the third part of the Sentinel series.
