The Facility for Ground based Atmospheric Measurements (FGAM) is an integral part of the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS), designed for the study of atmospheric processes by the national and international research community.  It makes Field observations, Airborne observations, runs and/or works with Atmospheric Observatories and performs Laboratory and Calibration studies.  Some recent activities are highlighted in the FGAM brochure 2010.

There are FGAM Instrument Scientists (ISs) associated with instruments to: facilitate non-specialist use; maintain and run equipment; ensure quality of data; and archive data at the British Atmospheric Data Centre (BADC).

Individuals or groups can apply to use the instruments by contacting This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , the Head of FGAM, in the first instance.
