Over 100 instruments are in use in industrial, academic and government laboratories.\r\n\r\nScientifically, the instrument can deliver quantitative mass concentrations of the major non-refractory chemical species present in submicron particles (ammonium, nitrate, sulphate, organics and non-sea-salt chloride) in microgrammes per cubic metre. It is also capable of delivering these concentrations as a function of diameter as a dM/dlog(D) distribution. Further to this, information on the chemical nature of the organic fraction can be derived by inspecting the relative sizes of the peaks within the mass spectrum. In order to produce fully quality assured and meaningful results, the data must be processed offline or near-real-time. The Compact Time-of-Flight AMS (C-ToF-AMS) is a version that enables continuous acquisition of complete mass spectra (1-800 m/z) of all sampled particles at rates as fast as 80 kHz." }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 5911, "uuid": "9c3e7fd45f4d4d8ab29575a82de3908e", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Acquisition Process for: Data from Manchester/UFAM: Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) - formerly umist-ams at FAAM BAe-146-301 Large Atmospheric Research Aircraft G-LUXE for the Polluted Troposphere NERC Research Programme Project", "abstract": "This acquisition is comprised of the following: INSTRUMENTS: Manchester/UFAM: Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) - formerly umist-ams; PLATFORMS: FAAM BAe-146-301 Large Atmospheric Research Aircraft G-LUXE; " } }, { "ob_id": 1792, "platform": { "ob_id": 5921, "uuid": "04e049336e364bb181686c0f2256f82d", "short_code": "plat", "title": "NDACC Alpine Europe Primary stations", "abstract": "Set of stations, part of the NDACC network, in the European Alpine region.

The temperature of the laser diode is maintained within a narrow range in order to ensure high stability of the emitted wavelength. This allows a very narrow band optical filter to be used at the input to the receiver. The receiver signal amplitude is sampled at time intervals of 50 ns, corresponding to altitude intervals of 7.5 m. Owing to the low power of the transmitter, the receiver signal amplitude for a single pulse backscattered from a high-altitude cloud is not sufficiently large to be distinguished above the noise level. Nevertheless the contribution from cloud backscatter remains coherent from pulse to pulse, whereas that from noise varies randomly. Consequently the detectability of the desired signal can be greatly improved by summing the receiver signal amplitude (separately for each altitude interval) over all pulses within a 15 s interval. Attention is restricted to altitudes below 13.05 km (corresponding to maximum range of detection of 13.00 km - the instrument is at 50 m above mean sea level) since, even after summation, the presence of any clouds which might exist at higher altitudes can only be determined with difficulty.\r\n\r\nThe instrument manufacturer's cloud detection algorithm is applied to the 15 s receiver signal amplitude profiles. It is designed to detect up to three possible cloud layers. For each of these, the altitude (above mean sea level) of the cloud base and the depth to which the laser light penetrates is determined. If the laser light is not able to penetrate the entire depth of a particular cloud layer, missing datum values are given for subsequent layers. If no cloud layer is detected, missing datum values are given for all three layers. In order to distinguish between cloud-free conditions and a lack of observations, attention should be paid to instrument status flag. An estimate is also given of the maximum possible altitude of cloud detection and of the visibility for a human observer looking upwards. The maximum range of cloud detection defaults to 13.05 km under clear sky conditions. A lower value implies that no information may be given on any cloud layers which may exist beyond this altitude.

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.

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": 3578, "uuid": "364bb67ddd8a439eaf648bc9d183c906", "short_code": "instr", "title": "Chilbolton Facility for Atmospheric and Radio Research (CFARR) Chilbolton Advanced Meteorological Radar (CAMRa) 3 GHz S-Band Radar", "abstract": "With a diameter of 25 metres, the 3 GHz CAMRa is the largest steerable meteorological radar in the world.
