I am responsible for lidar and meteorological instruments at Chilbolton Atmospheric Observatory. I have worked at the Observatory for over 20 years, supporting instruments and managing data from them. Initially I developed the UV Raman lidar which operates at the site. Since then I have become responsible for other lidars at the site (Vaisala CL51 ceilometer and Halo Photonics Streamline Pro Doppler lidar) and for the wide range of meteorological instruments which operate continuously at the Observatory. These measure various quantities such as basic meteorology (e.g. temperature or wind), rainfall (including rain rate, accumulation and drop size distribution) and solar irradiance. Data from these instruments are quality-controlled before archiving at CEDA - another responsibility of the role. Originally (last millenium!) I gained a first class degree in Physics with Astrophysics from the University of Birmingham.
