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": 14523, "uuid": "169d754ec2d64e45a3ea55aac78bca82", "short_code": "instr", "title": "YORK-O3-CO", "abstract": "YORK-O3-CO" }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 14524, "uuid": "961e81eb5fbc4c5089f82d9c7d356fe7", "short_code": "acq", "title": "ClearFlo long term measurements at chilbolton", "abstract": "ClearFlo long term measurements at chilbolton" } }, { "ob_id": 5509, "platform": { "ob_id": 14527, "uuid": "e815d1b2f6e54bdeb535819cb1404bed", "short_code": "plat", "title": "North Kensington", "abstract": "North Kensington is an area of west London forming the northern part of Notting Hill, lying north of Notting Hill Gate and south of Harrow Road." }, "instrument": { "ob_id": 99, "uuid": "98ab5fc9e63c403792e90e6b9b69e3c8", "short_code": "instr", "title": "University of Manchester/UFAM: Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) - formerly umist-ams", "abstract": "The Aerodyne aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS) is the only currently available instrument capable of providing quantitative size and chemical mass loading information in real-time for non-refractory sub-micron aerosol particles. The AMS couples size-resolved particle sampling and mass spectrometric techniques into a single real-time measurement system. The Aerodyne AMS has been deployed world-wide at fixed sites, and on mobile laboratory, ship and aircraft platforms. 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": {

This results in the emission of radiation that can be measured and related to the mass of black carbon. \r\n\r\nThe instrument can be operated in a range of environments (lab, ground-based, aircraft) and its high sensitivity and fast response makes it ideal for a number of atmospheric science applications. The measurement frequency of this instrument is 1Hz. \r\n\r\nThe outputs include: black carbon mass, number and size; as well as information relating to the mixing state of black carbon-containing particles. Number and volume concentration of scattering particles; as well as their optical size are also included. \r\n\r\nBlack carbon is an important component of atmospheric aerosol and is a strong absorber of solar radiation. It is a product of incomplete combustion activities and the major sources include vehicle engines, burning of domestic fuels for heating/cooking and forest/agricultural fires.

The AMS couples size-resolved particle sampling and mass spectrometric techniques into a single real-time measurement system. The Aerodyne AMS has been deployed world-wide at fixed sites, and on mobile laboratory, ship and aircraft platforms. 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": 14895, "uuid": "8bab98c5f0284ea186729867012f05e4", "short_code": "acq", "title": "FAAM Flight B039 Acquisition", "abstract": "FAAM Flight B039 Acquisition" } }, { "ob_id": 5600, "platform": { "ob_id": 51, "uuid": "dda4596d5d374564acf8c79b7a119127", "short_code": "plat", "title": "FAAM BAe-146-301 Large Atmospheric Research Aircraft G-LUXE", "abstract": "FAAM is the result of a collaboration between the Met Office(TM) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and has been established as part of the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) to provide an aircraft measurement platform for use by all the UK atmospheric research community on campaigns throughout the world.
