Whiteway and Dr G. Vaughan, Department of Physics, University of Wales, Aberystwyth.\r\n\r\nDataset contains: airborne measurements, by the Egrett aircraft, of turbulence, ozone, water vapour, CH4 and CFCs; Ground based measurements, by the NERC MST Radar, of atmospheric structure, mesoscale dynamics, and turbulence; Balloons measurements of ozone, water vapour, wind, temperature and pressure; Lidar of ozone, water vapour, temperature and cirrus clouds.\r\n\r\nObjectives and Methodology\r\n\r\nThe main objectives are outlined as follows.\r\n\r\n-Gravity waves, turbulence and mixing. The processes by which gravity waves break and cause turbulence has been investigated. It will be determined whether the mixing associated with this turbulence has a significant influence on the distribution of constituents in the tropopause region. Particular emphasis has been placed on mixing at and across the tropopause\r\n-Gravity wave spectra. This involved measurements of the vertical, horizontal, and temporal spectra of temperature and wind fluctuations. The influence of specific meteorological conditions have been identified in each of the different types of spectra.\r\n-Gravity wave variability. The spatial variability of gravity wave activity has been determined with respect to specific meteorological patterns (e.g. the jet stream).\r\n-Distribution of filamentation. Determined whether and how filamentary structure becomes less prominent with altitude above the jet.\r\n-Scale of filamentation. The across-flow scales of filaments will be determined at different altitudes above the jet stream, and this was compared to model predictions\r\n-Filamentation and mixing. It was determined if there was a clear evidence of mixing (e.g. ozone-rich moist air) in filaments near the tropopause, in regions downstream of expected or observed gravity-wave breaking. Generally, the mixture of tracer concentrations were used to gauge the extent to which air near the tropopause region is genuinely mixed, with respect to the synoptic meteorological pattern.\r\n\r\nDeliverables\r\n\r\nAirborne measurements: A unique stratospheric research aircraft, the Egrett aircraft, performed 10 separate flights in the UTLS region above Aberystwyth. The Egrett was equipped with advanced instrumentation for measurements of turbulence, ozone and water vapour.\r\n\r\nGround based measurements: The ground based facilities at Aberystwyth were operated to their full capacity during the Egrett campaign. The NERC MST Radar provided measurements of atmospheric structure, mesoscale dynamics, and turbulence. Balloons carryed instruments for measuring ozone, water vapour, wind, temperature and pressure. Three separate lidar systems provided measurements of ozone, water vapour, temperature and cirrus clouds.\r\n\r\nAnalysis of gravity waves and turbulence: The above measurements were conducted when gravity waves were breaking and causing turbulence. The combination of the Egrett and ground based measurements have been used to determine if this process is significant for transport of chemical constituents in the UTLS region. These measurements also provided a new basis for testing theories and models of the wave breaking process.\r\n\r\nAnalysis of filamentation: The Egrett aircraft was directed to fly through regions of filamentation in the lower stratosphere. This provided new data to test theories and models of mixing through turbulence at the edges of filaments." } ], "inspireTheme": [], "topicCategory": [], "phenomena": [ 11531, 11532, 11533, 11534, 11535, 11536, 11537, 11538, 11539, 11540, 11541, 11542, 11543, 11544, 11545, 11546, 11547, 11548, 11549 ], "vocabularyKeywords": [], "identifier_set": [], "observationcollection_set": [ { "ob_id": 6604, "uuid": "07a6ec510275c091c6666987f6c56a49", "short_code": "coll", "title": "UTLS Egrett: Airborne atmospheric chemistry and meteorological observations over Aberystwyth, Mid-Wales", "abstract": "The Aberystwyth Egrett Experiment: Gravity Waves, Turbulence, Mixing and Filamentation in the Tropopause Region is a Upper Troposphere Lower Stratosphere (UTLS) Round 2 project led by Dr J.

Vaughan, Department of Physics, University of Wales, Aberystwyth.\r\n\r\nDataset contains: airborne measurements, by the Egrett aircraft, of turbulence, ozone, water vapour, CH4 and CFCs; Ground based measurements, by the NERC MST Radar, of atmospheric structure, mesoscale dynamics, and turbulence; Balloons measurements of ozone, water vapour, wind, temperature and pressure; Lidar of ozone, water vapour, temperature and cirrus clouds.\r\n\r\nObjectives and Methodology\r\n\r\nThe main objectives are outlined as follows.\r\n\r\n-Gravity waves, turbulence and mixing. The processes by which gravity waves break and cause turbulence has been investigated. It will be determined whether the mixing associated with this turbulence has a significant influence on the distribution of constituents in the tropopause region. Particular emphasis has been placed on mixing at and across the tropopause\r\n-Gravity wave spectra. This involved measurements of the vertical, horizontal, and temporal spectra of temperature and wind fluctuations. The influence of specific meteorological conditions have been identified in each of the different types of spectra.\r\n-Gravity wave variability. The spatial variability of gravity wave activity has been determined with respect to specific meteorological patterns (e.g. the jet stream).\r\n-Distribution of filamentation. Determined whether and how filamentary structure becomes less prominent with altitude above the jet.\r\n-Scale of filamentation. The across-flow scales of filaments will be determined at different altitudes above the jet stream, and this was compared to model predictions\r\n-Filamentation and mixing. It was determined if there was a clear evidence of mixing (e.g. ozone-rich moist air) in filaments near the tropopause, in regions downstream of expected or observed gravity-wave breaking. Generally, the mixture of tracer concentrations were used to gauge the extent to which air near the tropopause region is genuinely mixed, with respect to the synoptic meteorological pattern.\r\n\r\nDeliverables\r\n\r\nAirborne measurements: A unique stratospheric research aircraft, the Egrett aircraft, performed 10 separate flights in the UTLS region above Aberystwyth. The Egrett was equipped with advanced instrumentation for measurements of turbulence, ozone and water vapour.\r\n\r\nGround based measurements: The ground based facilities at Aberystwyth were operated to their full capacity during the Egrett campaign. The NERC MST Radar provided measurements of atmospheric structure, mesoscale dynamics, and turbulence. Balloons carryed instruments for measuring ozone, water vapour, wind, temperature and pressure. Three separate lidar systems provided measurements of ozone, water vapour, temperature and cirrus clouds.\r\n\r\nAnalysis of gravity waves and turbulence: The above measurements were conducted when gravity waves were breaking and causing turbulence. The combination of the Egrett and ground based measurements have been used to determine if this process is significant for transport of chemical constituents in the UTLS region. These measurements also provided a new basis for testing theories and models of the wave breaking process.\r\n\r\nAnalysis of filamentation: The Egrett aircraft was directed to fly through regions of filamentation in the lower stratosphere. This provided new data to test theories and models of mixing through turbulence at the edges of filaments." }, { "ob_id": 14435, "uuid": "7f90dfc24c3b4ce5b4c230996dd2bf62", "short_code": "proj", "title": "UTLS-Ozone: Atmospheric Chemistry and Transport of Ozone (ACTO)", "abstract": "The Atmospheric Chemistry and Transport of Ozone in the UTLS (ACTO) was a round 2 UTLS project led by Stuart Penkett, University of East Anglia.\r\n\r\nThe objectives were:\r\n\r\nTo quantitatively assess the role of in situ chemistry and transport of stratospheric and lower tropospheric air on the ozone budget in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere, focussing on the North Atlantic in spring and summer.\r\nQuantify the role of in-situ photochemistry (production and destruction) of ozone in layers of different composition through a combination of chemistry measurements.\r\nQuantify the sources of radical species (HOx and ROx) from photolysis of various molecules and to investigate the form and source of NOy in the UTLS region.\r\nAssess the impact of transport and mixing on the ozone budget in the UTLS through the identification of air masses each with a distinct origin and composition and to study their photo-chemical evolution in the upper troposphere and the lower stratosphere.\r\nDetermining the extent to which the existence of layering influences the chemistry of the UTLS and quantifying the impact of mixing between air masses on the photochemical activity at their interfaces.\r\n\r\nMethodology\r\nThe overall methodology was to analyse existing data, to collect new data, including that collected by some new instruments, in a part of the atmosphere rarely examined before (UTLS), and to interpret this data using a range of numerical models.\r\n\r\nData were already collected on the composition and structure of the troposphere as part of OCTA, ACSOE, and TACIA programmes, UTLS-DCFZ and EU-MAXOX during campaigns in the first half of 1999. There was an obvious progression from the objectives of the previous experiments and those of this project. Therefore analysis of the data from these programmes were valuable for the planning of the new measurement campaign, which were collected in the UTLS using the UKMO C-130 during 40 hours flying time, in the spring/summer period of the 2000. Flights were 3-6 hours and did take place in the North Atlantic off northern Britain and were predominantly in the upper troposphere (4 to 11km) with only occasional sorties into the lower stratosphere. Flights were designed to examine the chemical composition and reactivity of different air masses: boundary layer air (marine and (polluted) continental); tropical and subtropical air; upper tropospheric and lower stratospheric air; and polar air. Detailed meteorological and chemical forecast data were obtained from ECMWF, UKMO and NILU. Domain filling trajectory calculations, with forecast wind fields, were used to locate layers and to determine their orientation, whilst the NILU chemical forecast model provided information on the expected chemical composition of the different air masses. To determine the origin, composition and chemical activity of the different air masses found in the UTLS, measurements were made from a large number of tracers, ozone precursors, reactive species and photochemical products." } ], "inspireTheme": [], "topicCategory": [], "phenomena": [], "vocabularyKeywords": [], "identifier_set": [], "observationcollection_set": [], "responsiblepartyinfo_set": [ 56105, 56106, 56108, 56109, 56110, 56111, 56104, 56107 ], "onlineresource_set": [] }, { "ob_id": 14465, "uuid": "a55694199afd4993869fafce201c1b0a", "title": "ECMWF ERA-Interim: monthly ozone climatology source data from satellite and ozonesondes (1966-1993)", "abstract": "This monthly ozone climatology dataset was produced from a combination of satellite and ozonesonde data from 1966 to 1993.

SLIMCAT was a three-dimensional (3D) off-line chemical transport model (CTM). The model used winds and temperatures from meteorological analyses (e.g. from the UK Met Office or ECMWF) to specify the atmospheric transport and temperatures and calculates the abundances of chemical species in the troposphere and stratosphere. The model had the option of detailed chemical scheme(s) for the stratosphere and troposphere. \r\n\r\nThe model can be used to simulate the past and current atmosphere, help interpret observations, and to diagnose the extent of problems such as stratospheric ozone depletion or tropospheric pollution. This model was developed at the University of Leeds, UK.\r\n\r\n== Introduction ==\r\n\r\nAround 1995 Martyn Chipperfield (University of Leeds) wrote SLIMCAT. This was a stratosphere-only version of TOMCAT formulated on isentropic levels. At this time TOMCAT became a 'tropospheric' model and various people in Cambridge helped to add treatments of e.g. convection, boundary layer mixing, and tropospheric chemistry. Recently, SLIMCAT has been extended downwards to include the troposphere. As the two former models were so similar, it made maintenance/development easier to merge TOMCAT and SLIMCAT into a single library with a choice of vertical coordinate (and other things), so that one model covers all of the applications. Depending on the coordinate use, the model is still referred to as TOMCAT or SLIMCAT.\r\n\r\n=== Key Details ===\r\n\r\n - Variable resolution. Typical resolutions are 5 x 5 degrees for multiannual runs to up to 1 x 1 degree.\r\n - Forced by meteorological analyses, usually ECMWF and sometimes UKMO.\r\n -Options of detailed stratospheric or tropospheric chemistry schemes.\r\n- Written in Fortran (f77, f90). Runs on most platforms (including vector machines). Parallelised using OpenMP and MPI.\r\n" }, "procedureCompositeProcess": null, "imageDetails": [ 47 ], "discoveryKeywords": [ { "ob_id": 1138, "name": "NDGO0003" } ], "permissions": [ { "ob_id": 2526, "accessConstraints": null, "accessCategory": "public", "accessRoles": null, "label": "public: None group", "licence": { "ob_id": 3, "licenceURL": "http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/", "licenceClassifications": [ { "ob_id": 3, "classification": "any" } ] } } ], "projects": [ { "ob_id": 14464, "uuid": "a6ff6910ec164e00b21e69c12e1bffef", "short_code": "proj", "title": "UTLS-Ozone: The SLIMCAT Reference Atmosphere project", "abstract": "The SLIMCAT Reference Atmosphere for UTLS-Ozone was a set of example output from the SLIMCAT three-dimensional chemical transport model (CTM).

This response to the need for enhanced credibility for climate data, to support rigorous science, decision-making and climate services. The project approach was to develop methodologies for generating Fundamental Climate Data Records (FCDRs) and Climate Data Records (CDRs) that are widely applicable and metrologically rigorous. \r\n\r\nThe “BACI” project translates satellite data streams into novel “essential biodiversity variables” by integrating ground-based observations. The trans-disciplinary project offers new insights into the functioning and state of ecosystems and biodiversity. BACI enables the user community to detect abrupt and transient changes of ecosystems and quantify the implications for regional biodiversity.\r\n\r\nThe UK Natural Environment Research Council has established a knowledge transfer network called NCAVEO (Network for Calibration and Validation of EO data - NCAVEO) which has as its aim the promotion and support of methodologies based upon quantitative, traceable measurements in Earth observation. \r\n\r\nThe Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget 1 & 2 instruments (GERB-1 and GERB-2) make accurate measurements of the Earth Radiation Budget. They are specifically designed to be mounted on a geostationary satellite and are carried onboard the Meteosat Second Generation satellites operated by EUMETSAT. They were produced by a European consortium led by the UK (NERC) together with Belgium, Italy, and EUMETSAT, with funding from national agencies.\r\n\r\nGloboLakes analysed 20 years of data from more than 1000 large lakes across the globe to determine 'what controls the differential sensitivity of lakes to environmental perturbation'. This was an ambitious project that was only possible by bringing together a consortium of scientists with complementary skills. These include expertise in remote sensing of freshwaters and processing large volumes of satellite images, collation and analysis of large-scale environmental data, environmental statistics and the assessment of data uncertainty, freshwater ecology and mechanisms of environmental change and the ability to produce lake models to forecast future lake conditions.\r\n\r\nThis SPEI collaboration consists of high spatial resolution Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) drought dataset over the whole of Africa at different time scales from 1 month to 48 months.

For these Regional Climate Model (RCM) experiments, transient projections from 11 Medium emissions (SRESA1B) scenario GCM experiments for 1950-2099 were used as boundary conditions.\r\n\r\nThe RCM used contains the same representations of atmospheric dynamical and physical processes as in a global model. It is run at a higher horizontal resolution (25km) but over a sub-global domain (typically 5000km square), and is driven at the boundary of the domain by time series of variables (such as temperature and winds) saved from a GCM projection. Sea surface temperatures and sea-ice extents are also prescribed from the GCM, since HadRM3 (like most RCMs) does not include an interactive ocean component. The purpose of RCMs is to provide a high resolution climate projection consistent with its driving GCM projection at spatial scales skilfully resolved by the latter, but adding realistic detail at finer scales.

This response to the need for enhanced credibility for climate data, to support rigorous science, decision-making and climate services. The project approach was to develop methodologies for generating Fundamental Climate Data Records (FCDRs) and Climate Data Records (CDRs) that are widely applicable and metrologically rigorous. \r\n\r\nThe “BACI” project translates satellite data streams into novel “essential biodiversity variables” by integrating ground-based observations. The trans-disciplinary project offers new insights into the functioning and state of ecosystems and biodiversity. BACI enables the user community to detect abrupt and transient changes of ecosystems and quantify the implications for regional biodiversity.\r\n\r\nThe UK Natural Environment Research Council has established a knowledge transfer network called NCAVEO (Network for Calibration and Validation of EO data - NCAVEO) which has as its aim the promotion and support of methodologies based upon quantitative, traceable measurements in Earth observation. \r\n\r\nThe Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget 1 & 2 instruments (GERB-1 and GERB-2) make accurate measurements of the Earth Radiation Budget. They are specifically designed to be mounted on a geostationary satellite and are carried onboard the Meteosat Second Generation satellites operated by EUMETSAT.

This was an ambitious project that was only possible by bringing together a consortium of scientists with complementary skills. These include expertise in remote sensing of freshwaters and processing large volumes of satellite images, collation and analysis of large-scale environmental data, environmental statistics and the assessment of data uncertainty, freshwater ecology and mechanisms of environmental change and the ability to produce lake models to forecast future lake conditions.\r\n\r\nThis SPEI collaboration consists of high spatial resolution Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) drought dataset over the whole of Africa at different time scales from 1 month to 48 months.

This response to the need for enhanced credibility for climate data, to support rigorous science, decision-making and climate services. The project approach was to develop methodologies for generating Fundamental Climate Data Records (FCDRs) and Climate Data Records (CDRs) that are widely applicable and metrologically rigorous. \r\n\r\nThe “BACI” project translates satellite data streams into novel “essential biodiversity variables” by integrating ground-based observations. The trans-disciplinary project offers new insights into the functioning and state of ecosystems and biodiversity. BACI enables the user community to detect abrupt and transient changes of ecosystems and quantify the implications for regional biodiversity.\r\n\r\nThe UK Natural Environment Research Council has established a knowledge transfer network called NCAVEO (Network for Calibration and Validation of EO data - NCAVEO) which has as its aim the promotion and support of methodologies based upon quantitative, traceable measurements in Earth observation. \r\n\r\nThe Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget 1 & 2 instruments (GERB-1 and GERB-2) make accurate measurements of the Earth Radiation Budget. They are specifically designed to be mounted on a geostationary satellite and are carried onboard the Meteosat Second Generation satellites operated by EUMETSAT.

These include expertise in remote sensing of freshwaters and processing large volumes of satellite images, collation and analysis of large-scale environmental data, environmental statistics and the assessment of data uncertainty, freshwater ecology and mechanisms of environmental change and the ability to produce lake models to forecast future lake conditions.\r\n\r\nThis SPEI collaboration consists of high spatial resolution Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) drought dataset over the whole of Africa at different time scales from 1 month to 48 months.
