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": 12895, "uuid": "78fa797cc9224b06bd7720c38f1db766", "short_code": "instr", "title": "Chilbolton ALPHASAT 40 Ghz beacon receiver", "abstract": "Chilbolton ALPHASAT 40 Ghz beacon receiver" }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 12896, "uuid": "da35b4da0a81482bae8e75a4ffad9f98", "short_code": "acq", "title": "ASALASCA raw data collection at Chilbolton", "abstract": "ASALASCA raw data collection at Chilbolton" } }, { "ob_id": 4266, "platform": { "ob_id": 12927, "uuid": "562b11cd8c8246e5a80af9c66caaaee4", "short_code": "plat", "title": "Vigo ALPHASAT beacon receiver site", "abstract": "Vigo ALPHASAT beacon receiver site operated by the University of Vigo, Spain" }, "instrument": { "ob_id": 12926, "uuid": "4b742dce577b4237aef9840e72b343ed", "short_code": "instr", "title": "Vigo Young Mod. 52203 Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge", "abstract": "Vigo Young Mod. 52203 Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge\r\n\r\nManufacturer and Model: Young Mod. 52203\r\nType: Tipping bucket\r\nSpecifications: resolutions, dynamic range: 0.1 mm/tip \r\nIntegration time and sampling time: Integration time 1 min, sampling time 1 s\r\n" }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 12928, "uuid": "9a8ce0e8f2c64c37afbeeabcfb1708e6", "short_code": "acq", "title": "ESA ALPHASAT: raingauge data from Vigo, Spain", "abstract": "ESA ALPHASAT: raingauge data from Vigo, Spain" } }, { "ob_id": 4267, "platform": { "ob_id": 1924, "uuid": "409b3e2004154837805552cb3cb7a546", "short_code": "plat", "title": "Mace Head Atmospheric Research Facility, Ireland", "abstract": "The Mace Head Atmospheric Research Facility is located in Carna, County Galway, Ireland and is managed by the Department of Experimental Physics, Atmospheric Science Group, National University of Ireland, Galway.

Weybourne is operated by the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia (UEA) having been established in 1992 by Professor Stuart Penkett (retired 2004) with funding from BP (Norway) plc and NERC. Subsequently, long term monitoring and campaigns have been supported through numerous projects funded by NERC, Department of the Environment (DoE, Defra) and the EU. NCAS has also supported the site since 2002. Much of the instrumentation has come from HEFCE JIF and SRIF funds.\r\n\r\nWeybourne’s location means that it experiences air with a wide range of pollution levels. Predominant south-westerlies bring polluted air from the UK (including from London and the Midlands). At times, especially in anticyclonic conditions, Weybourne experiences polluted air from Europe. Weybourne can also receive clean background air in northerly air flow. This can be impacted by narrow pollution plumes from shipping in the N. Sea, and potentially gas platforms. Many successful campaigns have been hosted at Weybourne to examine oxidizing capacity, organic chemistry, carbonaceous particles, night-time chemistry and cloud impacts on radiation.

It is situated on the North Norfolk coast (52°57’02’’N, 1°07’19’’E, 15 m asl). Weybourne is operated by the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia (UEA) having been established in 1992 by Professor Stuart Penkett (retired 2004) with funding from BP (Norway) plc and NERC. Subsequently, long term monitoring and campaigns have been supported through numerous projects funded by NERC, Department of the Environment (DoE, Defra) and the EU. NCAS has also supported the site since 2002. Much of the instrumentation has come from HEFCE JIF and SRIF funds.\r\n\r\nWeybourne’s location means that it experiences air with a wide range of pollution levels. Predominant south-westerlies bring polluted air from the UK (including from London and the Midlands). At times, especially in anticyclonic conditions, Weybourne experiences polluted air from Europe. Weybourne can also receive clean background air in northerly air flow. This can be impacted by narrow pollution plumes from shipping in the N. Sea, and potentially gas platforms. Many successful campaigns have been hosted at Weybourne to examine oxidizing capacity, organic chemistry, carbonaceous particles, night-time chemistry and cloud impacts on radiation. In addition to the permanent building (see photo) there is adequate power and space to support instrumented mobile labs and containers. The site is also used by the wider community for instrument testing." }, "instrument": { "ob_id": 12972, "uuid": "f6c5e03cc14647c4ac8c7caaf97fd986", "short_code": "instr", "title": "University of East Anglia Gas Chromatograph measuring CO and H2", "abstract": "The Reduction Gas Analyser (RGA3, Trace Analytical)) at Weybourne Atmospheric Observatory is used to make quasi-continuous measurements of molecular hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO) in atmospheric air.
