I really enjoy my visits to Year 3. "Cloud in a bottle" and "Tornado in a bottle" demos always go down well! @AtmosScience @AMOF_Science
Year 3 had a visit from Dr Lindsay Bennet to talk about her job as a Meteorologist. It was very exciting and the children got to carry out some weather experiments! @AtmosSciencem @AMOF_Science @drlbennett

Instrument scientist Davey Hooper captured some beautiful cirrus clouds at dusk, looking over our Chilbolton Atmospheric Observatory site. Can you make out the silhouette of a Kepler radar? 👀 We thought we'd share some other day-to-night shots of the observatory too 🌝📡

That's a wrap! Today marks the end of our #WesCon summer of science with @MetOffice_Sci 👏 The project saw drones, aircraft, radar, radiosondes, lidar, weather stations, radiometers, wind profilers, much more kit, and many people all working together to study summer storms.

Behind the scenes with @jimhopkins5 at our observatory in the North Atlantic Ocean! Scientists at the Cape Verde Atmospheric Observatory collect vital long-term data, to help us understand climate change, air pollution, and the chemistry of the atmosphere.
Time for a clean! An estimated 100 million litres of ambient air has passed through these sections of the Cabo Verde Atmospheric Observatory (CVAO) sample manifold. The manifold will be re-installed later this year by the CVAO team. @AMOF_Science, @AtmosScience, @AtmosChemYork

Article by @DrGaryFuller highlights the work by our team at the BT Tower observatory, in the @guardian today👏 "It's important to keep making measurements to assess the success of intervention policies, like #ULEZ, and see #airquality in our cities improve." - adds @jdl_canary
#ULEZ may be working better than expected but the heating of buildings could be a barrier to #AirPollution improvement in a future H2 economy. Piece by me for @guardian, quotes from Sam Cliff & Ally Lewis @AtmosScience, @AtmosChemYork & data @UK_CleanAir theguardian.com/environment/…
