ARSF Atmospheric Announcement of Opportunity 2011

AIRBORNE RESEARCH & SURVEY FACILITY (ARSF)
ANNOUNCEMENT OF OPPORTUNITY - ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE
2011 FLYING SEASON: UNITED KINGDOM & EUROPE (DIRECT ACCESS)

CLOSING DATE FOR RECEIPT OF PROPOSALS: FRIDAY 5th NOVEMBER 2010

The ARSF (http://arsf.nerc.ac.uk) invites direct access applications to be flown in the UK and Europe during a three-week period in October 2011.
The Natural Environment Research Council will provide flying time for approved projects at no cost to the applicant (applicants will need to provide their own resourcing for fieldwork, data processing and data analysis).

For this atmospheric science call, proposals received from first-time applicants will be particularly welcomed.

Although this call is open to any proposal, a potential focus of this campaign may be testing atmospheric pollution monitoring instrumentation in preparation for support of the ClearfLo (Clean Air in London) project, and may be focused at one of the ClearfLo observatories (e.g. Chilbolton). ClearfLo is a NERC funded consortium project that aims to provide integrated measurements of the meteorology, atmospheric composition and particulate loading of London’s urban atmosphere (http://www.londonair.org.uk/london/asp/news.asp?NewsId=Cleanair).
