There is a pigeon, it's on the roof above me. I hear its high coo.

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 Atmospheric Measurement & Observation Facility instrument.

Meet the new National Centre for Atmospheric Science X-band radar! We're installing and testing it over the next couple of weeks. Really looking forward to using it this summer for some research campaigns with Met Office Science 📡

She's flown with FAAM Airborne Laboratory all over the world - from Alaska to India - a true international woman! Hear from Hannah Price about her role as an Instrument Scientist, ahead of #InternationalWomensDay2023 tomorrow.

It’s International Women’s Day! We are sharing 10 testimonies from women role models within our science community, to celebrate their careers in #STEM and to #EmbraceEquity. ncas.ac.uk/embraceequity-…

The Atmospheric Measurement & Observation Facility crew completed our new radar installation before the snow arrived - well done team! The radar is mounted on a shipping container so it can be moved more easily for fieldwork, and the radome cover provides protection from the weather 🌨️

Very enjoyable! Thanks Rob.
