ATSR Arctic Surface Temperature (AAST) Dataset V2.1 Product User Guide
Full text linkThe purpose of this document is to be a Product User Guide (PUG) for Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) Arctic combined Surface Temperature (AAST) data products produced by the University of Leicester. This PUG has been developed to facilitate users in their exploitation of these products. It provides the technical specifications for this dataset, including the structure of the products, file naming conventions, metadata definitions and quality control information. A summary of how the data were produced and an overview of each satellite instrument used are also included for interested users. This work was funded by The UK Dept. for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy
EUFAR Flight Finder & CEDA Satellite data finder
Full text linkSearching for data collected on moving platforms such as research can be difficult. The EUFAR Flight Finder tool is a geospatial / temporal key word search tool to maximise discovery, access and reuse of data collected by the EUFAR research air craft
NERC MSTRF Sky-Camera Time-Lapse Video for 2008-07-13 18:00 UTC.
No full textA time-lapse video showing Cirrostratus clouds giving rise to a 22° Halo around the Sun. A number of aircraft Contrails pass through the field of view and a Sun Dog can be seen briefly towards the end of the sequence. This video has been created from images taken by the NERC MST Radar Facility's Sky-Camera, which is located near Aberystwyth in West Wales.

NERC MSTRF Sky-Camera Time-Lapse Video for 2008-01-02 15:00 UTC (showing Altocumulus lenticularis clouds revealing Mountain Wave activity).
No full textA time-lapse video showing Altocumulus lenticularis clouds revealing
Mountain Wave activity. Notice how the positions of the clouds remain fixed relative to the landscape. This contrasts with the lower-level (Cumulus) clouds, seen at the beginning of the sequence, which move downstream with the wind.

Bringing NCAS data to the masses: CEDA catalogue developments and service intergrations 2017
Full text linkThe Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) hosts an archive of over 180 million files across 5000 data sets. Enabling users to find these data and to ensure NCAS meets its EU Inspire requirements is a fundamental operation of CEDA. Over the last year CEDA has rolled out a number of service updates to aid data discoverability and provide further integration with other CEDA services. The search tool has been changed to include an alternative (Beta) service based on a search engine technology (ElasticSearch) to speed up response times, improve accuracy and search across multiple record types. Other enhancements focus on data management issues such as tagging relationships between data sets and ordering data set lists based on relevance and status. An HTTP API has been added that can retrieve the relevant data set record based on a file or directory path. This approach enables other services to dynamically interrogate the catalogue service to improve automated interactions between CEDA systems. Finally, a new set of bespoke web views have been generated in order to describe AMF data sets, based on campaigns, instruments and long-term facilities
NERC MSTRF Sky-Camera Time-Lapse Video for 2007-09-30 14:30 UTC (showing Altocumulus clouds displaying both undulatus and lenticularis features).
No full textA time-lapse video showing Altocumulus clouds displaying both undulatus and lenticularis features. A lower cloud layer can be seen moving in a different direction at the beginning of the sequence. Contrails and cirrus clouds can be seen at higher levels. This video has been created from images taken by the NERC MST Radar Facility's Sky-Camera, which is located near Aberystwyth in West Wales.

NWP Global Atmosphere Model (PS39, implemented on 11 Jul 2017)
Full text linkBrief description of the Met Office Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) global atmospheric model (PS39) that was implemented on 11th July 2017
UK Met Office operational assimilated data: NetCDF metadata change
Full text linkThis document describes an update to the UK Met Office assimilated data metadata structure. On the 11th July 2017 the Met Office upgraded their global model from which these data are taken, this necessitated a change in the conversion from native Unified Model pp files to NetCDF. This document details these changes
