The international SYNOP message format has been used for the real time transmission of synoptic weather observations for about 50 years.

As well as the UK station, there are thousands of SYNOP stations distributed globally resulting in around 60,000 reports a day. Data are extracted for the 4 principal synoptic periods (00-06, 06-12, 12-18 and 18-00 UT) from the Met Office's MetDB system and delivered to CEDA at 13:30, 19:30, 01:30, and 07:30 respectively (all in GMT).

These include an anemometer, thermometer, station observer, sunshine recorder, visiometer, barometer, hygrometer, and raingauge. SYNOP messages are typically sent every six hours on shortwave using radioteletype (RTTY) and consist of groups of numbers (and slashes where data are not available). The message is decoded and the relevant parameters are stored in the MIDAS dataset and in the MetDB systems at the Met Office."

Approximately 1.2 m of snow accumulate each year on the Brunt Ice Shelf and buildings on the surface become covered and eventually crushed by snow. This part of the ice shelf is also moving westward by approximately 700m per year. There have been six Halley bases built so far. The first four were all buried by snow accumulation and crushed until they were uninhabitable. Various construction methods were tried, from unprotected wooden huts to steel tunnels. Halley V had the main buildings built on steel platforms that were raised annually to keep them above the snow surface. However, as the station’s legs were fixed in the ice it could not be moved and its occupation became precarious, having flowed too far from the mainland to a position at risk of calving as an iceberg."

Adelaide Island lies approximately 1860km south of the Falkland Islands and 1630km south east of Punta Arenas in Chile. The island is 140km long and heavily glaciated with mountains of up to 2565m height. The station is built on a promontory of rock at the southern extremity of the Wormald Ice Piedmont.\n\nIt has been occupied since 25th October 1975 to present. There is a 900m long crushed rock runway allowing an air link with South America and the Falkland Islands, the Biscoe Wharf provides safe mooring for ships.  \n\nRothera is the main Antarctic base for the BAS twin-otter aircraft. Radiosondes were also launched from here for the OFCAP (Orographic Flows and the Climate of the Antarctic Peninsula) project."

If aerosol backscatter and extinction properties are the same for both frequencies, the ratio of the received power at online and\noffline frequency only depends on the density of the species under study and the differential absorption cross section. In the case of water vapour the differential absorption cross section in dependence on atmospheric pressure is well known and the DIAL measurement yields the water vapour density.

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."

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"

This is a UFAM instrument operated by the University of Salford, UK. The instrument is a 1.55 μm eye-safe (Class 1M) scanning micro pulsed LiDAR providing profiles of aerosol backscatter coefficient (β) in units of m-1 sr-1 and radial velocity in ms-1 at user specified azimuth and elevation angles. This system has additional Doppler and depolarisation channels. A three point scanning algorithm is supplied for automated wind profile measurement: profiles of wind speed and direction can be obtained at a minimum of once every two minutes. Signal analysis, data retrievals, and data storage are performed by a PC system on-board the instrument. Users can operate the instrument remotely via the internet (not wireless) that is: users can program custom scan patterns and monitor performance. The operational software allows the user to test out head positions for a scan, level the instrument, and schedule how often the LiDAR comes out of its default operation (vertical observation or STARE Mode) to perform an operation. An internal GPS provides accurate system timing and instrument position while the extended temperature facility provides an operational temperature range of -20°C to 40°C: at temperature > 40°C this the system will automatically shutdown.\r\n\r\nThis instrument was subsequently converted into the instrument now operated by NCAS AMF as their Halo Doppler Lidar no 1."
