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": 13244, "uuid": "b90da205dfa943e3bde0ef4a4381e639", "short_code": "instr", "title": "Gas chromatographs", "abstract": "Gas chromatography (GC) is a common type of chromatography used in analytical chemistry for separating and analyzing compounds that can be vaporized without decomposition.

The laser induced fluorescence at low pressure is measured. \r\n \r\nThis instrument has a wide range of applications including simultaneous detection of OH, HO2, RO2 radical species and total OH reactivity. Detection of iodine monoxide and glyoxal is also possible, although not at the same time as the other radical measurements." }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 3983, "uuid":

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": 4552, "uuid": "280208a876e44c86b0856c823131746c", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Acquisition Process for: HYREX project: Drop-counting raingauge", "abstract": "This acquisition is comprised of the following: INSTRUMENTS: Drop-counting raingauge; PLATFORMS: Boscombe Down,Middle Wallop and Chilbolton; " } }, { "ob_id": 4446, "platform": { "ob_id": 7805, "uuid": "d21630e98aa74a4f8406743b74e5d076", "short_code": "plat", "title": "ERS-1", "abstract": "The European Remote Sensing satellite 1 (ERS1) was launched on 17th July 1991 and was the first flight of the RSA ERS program.

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." }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 13634, "uuid": "1fd5af14acbd4c67a52cb871331a387c", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Acquisition Process for: ATSR-1 L2P Product (ATSR-1 L2P) v3", "abstract": "This acquisition is comprised of the following: INSTRUMENTS: ERS1 ATSR1; PLATFORMS: ERS-1; " } }, { "ob_id": 4447, "platform": { "ob_id": 846, "uuid": "47779e22cdc6491a9f7491af866f7080", "short_code": "plat", "title": "Envisat", "abstract": "In March 2002, the European Space Agency launched Envisat, an advanced polar-orbiting Earth observation satellite which provides measurements of the atmosphere, ocean, land, and ice.
