Airborne atmospheric measurements from core and non-core instrument suites data on board the FAAM BAE-146 aircraft collected for COSMICS - Cold-air Outbreak and sub-Millimetre Ice Cloud Study project.

Airborne atmospheric measurements from core and non-core instrument suites data on board the FAAM BAE-146 aircraft collected for MAGIC project.

This dataset contains wind speed and direction, pressure, temperature and humidity measurements for the Kirby Misperton site. British Geological Survey (BGS), the universities of Birmingham, Bristol, Liverpool, Manchester and York and partners from Public Health England (PHE) and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), are conducting an independent environmental baseline monitoring programme near Kirby Misperton, North Yorkshire and Little Plumpton, Lancashire. These are areas where planning permission has been granted for hydraulic fracturing. The monitoring allows the characterisation of the environmental baseline before any hydraulic fracturing and gas exploration or production takes place in the event that planning permission is granted. The investigations are independent of any monitoring carried out by the industry or the regulators, and information collected from the programme will be made freely available to the public.

The Aerosol Direct Radiative Impact Experiment (ADRIEX) was a joint UK Met Office/Natural Environment Research Council (NERC)/UK Royal Society/University of Oslo project aiming at improving our understanding of the radiative effects of anthropogenic aerosol and gases (ozone and methane) in the troposphere. This dataset contains forecast trajectories computed using UTRAJ. The term “particle trajectory” describes the path of a point which is blown by a time dependent wind field (i.e. (u, v, w) as a function of (x, y, z, t)). Trajectories following the analysed wind field are described by their coordinates (e.g. longitude, latitude, pressure) at regularly spaced time intervals. “Domain filling” refers to calculations where the arrival points of back trajectories (or release points for forward trajectories) form a dense, regular grid in a specified volume. The term “reverse” is used to indicate that the particles are followed backwards in time. Back trajectories are assumed to arrive on a 3D grid consisting of a stack of horizontal grids (regular in longitude and latitude) on a range of pressure levels. Forward trajectories are assumed to depart from similar grids. The trajectory length (time before arrival for back trajectories) is denoted by the letter T. Other fields can also be recorded following the trajectories: for example, temperature, specific humidity or potential vorticity. These extra fields are described as “attributes” and will be denoted by the variable C. The change in the value of an attribute over the length of a trajectory is denoted by C(0) − C(T).

Cloud properties derived from the AVHRR instrument on the NOAA-17 satellite by the ESA Cloud CCI project. The L3C dataset consists of data combined (averaged) from a single instrument into a global space-time grid, with a spatial resolution of 0.5 degrees lat/lon and a temporal resolution of 1 month. This dataset is version 1.0 data from Phase 1 of the CCI project.

This dataset contains ice velocities for the Greenland margin for winter 1995-1996, which have been produced by the ESA Greenland Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project. The data were derived from intensity-tracking of ERS-2 data acquired between 03-09-1995 and 29-03-1996. It provides components of the ice velocity and the magnitude of the velocity. The data are provided on a polar stereographic grid (EPSG3413: Latitude of true scale 70N, Reference Longitude 45E). The horizontal velocity is provided in true meters per day, towards the EASTING(x) and NORTHING(y) directions of the grid; the vertical displacement (z), derived from a digital elevation model, is also provided. Please note that previous versions of this product provided the horizontal velocities as true East and North velocities. Both a single NetCDF file (including all measurements and annotation), and separate geotiff files with the velocity components are provided. The product was generated by DTU Space - Microwaves and Remote Sensing. For further information please see the product user guide. Please note - this product was released on the Greenland Ice Sheets download page in June 2016, but an earlier product (also accidentally labelled v1.1) was available through the CCI Open Data Portal and the CEDA archive until 29th November 2016. Please now use the later v1.1 product.
