It’s Global Accessibility Awareness Day!
We’re sharing why making atmospheric science accessible matters, and what we’re doing to embed accessibility within everything we do.

Researchers @AtmosScience have recently deployed a doppler lidar to measure winds across Bristol.
The study is led by @AtmosScience and @UniofReading.
We asked Dr Phil Rosenberg about doppler lidar and the study they are being used for.

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

Brilliant news! @NERCscience has invested £7.6m in our Atmospheric Measurement & Observation Facility.
@AMOF_Science will soon be offering new instrumentation and data products, taking steps to enhance the user journey, and offering training for skills development.

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 🌝📡

A Helikite has been used for the first time to observe clouds and aerosol particles over central Greenland’s ice sheet.
Read our article where we spoke to @heather_guy, a researcher @AtmosScience based @SEELeeds, about the study:

Today marks the end of the @metoffice #WesCon2023 Wessex Convection experiment which has been running since June to study convective clouds and the processes leading to summertime storms. (1/4)

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

We've had a special delivery at our Chilbolton Observatory this week.
But, what's inside?
We'll reveal all next week, when we unbox this new @AMOF_Science instrument.

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.
