NERC-ARSF-DAN Hyperspectral data quality report 2015.
Full text linkThe Airborne Research and Survey Facility (ARSF) collect hyperspectral data with a Specim AISA Fenix instrument, operated since 2014. The Fenix instrument comprises two detectors covering the Visible to Near Infra-Red (VNIR) and Short Wave Infra-Red (SWIR) regions, giving a total spectral
range of 380–2500 nm. This data quality report describes issues for hyperspectral data acquired with the Fenix instrument that should be considered when further processing any ARSF datasets acquired from 31 August 2014 until the end of 2015

Marine safety Environmental Risk and Reliability Series
Full text linkMarine vessel collisions cover the largest part of accidents scenario in waterways.
Waterways accidents expose vessel owners and operators as well as the public to risk. They attract possibility of losses such as vessel cargo damage, injuries, loss of life, environmental damage and obstruction of waterways. Collision risk is a product of the probability of the physical event its occurrence as well as losses of various nature including economic losses.
Environmental problem and need for system reliability call for innovative methods and tools to assess and analyze extreme operational, accidental and catastrophic scenarios as well as accounting for the human element and integrate these into a design environments part of design objectives. This paper discusses modeling of waterways collision risk frequency in waterways. The analysis considers mainly the waterways dimensions and other related
variables of risk factors like operator skill, vessel characteristics, traffic characteristics,
topographic, environmental difficulty of the transit and quality of operator’s information in
transit which is required for decision support related to efficient, reliable and sustainable
waterways developments. The probability per year predicted is considered acceptable in
maritime and offshore industry but for a channel using less number of expected traffic,
it could be considered high. Providing safety facilities like traffic separation, vessel traffic
management could restore maximize sustainable use of the channel

UK Atmospheric Hi-Res Model
Full text linkThis document describes a post processed regional downscaled configuration of the Unified Model, covering the UK and Ireland, with hourly forecast data covering the period T+0 to T+36 hours. With a resolution of approximately 0.018 degrees it is able to produce hourly data at surface level and at standard pressure levels up to eight times a day. The model’s initial state is kept close to the real atmosphere using incremental 3D-Var data assimilation.
This document provides technical model configuration details and describes the output variables available

STFC Centre for Environmental Data Archival (CEDA) Annual Report 2013 (April 2012-March 2013)
Full text linkThe mission of the Centre for Environmental Archival (CEDA) is to deliver long term curation of
scientifically important environmental data at the same time as facilitating the use of data by the
environmental science community. CEDA was established by the amalgamation of the activities of two of
the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) designated data centres: the British Atmospheric
Data Centre, and the NERC Earth Observation Data Centre.
We are pleased to present here our fourth annual report, covering activities for the 2013 year (April 2012
to March 2013). The report consists of two sections and appendices, the first section broadly providing a
summary of activities and some statistics with some short descriptions of some significant activities, and
a second section introducing some exemplar projects and activities. The report concludes with additional
details of activities such as publications, software maintained etc
Global Atmospheric Hi-Res Model
Full text linkThis document describes a global configuration of the Met Office Unified Model. With a resolution of approximately 0.234 x 0.153 degrees, it is able to produce selected hourly data covering the first 48 hours at surface level and at standard pressure levels twice a day. The model’s initial state is kept close to the real atmosphere using hybrid 4D-Var data assimilation.
This document provides a detailed description of the model configuration and output variables available

How
A climate information platform for Copernicus
Full text linkA poster to show CLIPC Climate information platform for Copernicus.
● CLIPC will design a platform to provide access to climate
information of direct relevance to a wide variety of users, from
scientists to policy makers and private sector decision makers;
● The “one-stop-shop” platform will provide data and information on
climate and climate impacts, and ensure that the providence of
science and policy relevant data products is thoroughly
documented;
● Engage with user communities to inform development
