Methane and carbon dioxide fluxes and their regional scalability for the European Arctic wetlands during the MAMM project in summer 2012 (2014)
Journal Article
O'Shea, S. J., Allen, G., Gallagher, M. W., Bower, K., Illingworth, S., Muller, J., …Pyle, J. (2014). Methane and carbon dioxide fluxes and their regional scalability for the European Arctic wetlands during the MAMM project in summer 2012. Atmospheric C

Airborne and ground-based measurements of methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2) and boundary layer thermodynamics were recorded over the Fennoscandian landscape (67–69.5° N, 20–28° E) in July 2012 as part of the MAMM (Methane and other greenhouse gases...

Airborne measurements of HC(O)OH in the European Arctic: A winter – summer comparison (2014)
Journal Article
Jones, B. T., Muller, J. B., O'Shea, S. J., Bacak, A., Le Breton, M., Bannan, T. J., …Percival, C. J. (2014). Airborne measurements of HC(O)OH in the European Arctic: A winter – summer comparison. Atmospheric Environment, 99, 556-567. https://doi.org/

This study represents the first airborne, in-situ measurements of HC(O)OH in the European Arctic, across the winter and summer seasons. HC(O)OH concentrations are under predicted at present, particularly in the mid to high northern latitudes. Data pr...

Feasibility of aerial measurements of methane emissions from landfills (2014)
Report
Allen, G., Gallagher, M., Hollingsworth, P., Illingworth, S., Kabbabe, K., & Percival, C. (2014). Feasibility of aerial measurements of methane emissions from landfills. Bristol: Environment Agency

This desk-based study has identified the most suitable aerial system, instrumentation and methods to measure the amount of methane released to the atmosphere from UK landfill sites. It will help the Environment Agency and other government bodies t... Read More about Feasibility of aerial measurements of methane emissions from landfills.

Atmospheric composition and thermodynamic retrievals from the ARIES airborne FTS system – Part 1: Technical aspects and simulated capability (2014)
Journal Article
Illingworth, S., Allen, G., Newman, S., Vance, A., Marenco, F., Harlow, R., …Remedios, J. (2014). Atmospheric composition and thermodynamic retrievals from the ARIES airborne FTS system – Part 1: Technical aspects and simulated capability. Atmospheric

In this study we present an assessment of the retrieval capability of the Airborne Research Interferometer Evaluation System (ARIES): an airborne remote-sensing Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) operated on the UK Facility for Airborne Atmospheric...

Measurement of boundary layer ozone concentrations on-board a Skywalker unmanned aerial vehicle (2014)
Journal Article
Illingworth, S., Allen, G., Percival, C., Hollingsworth, P., Gallagher, M., Ricketts, H., …Roberts, G. (2014). Measurement of boundary layer ozone concentrations on-board a Skywalker unmanned aerial vehicle. Atmospheric Science Letters, 15(4), 252--258.

This study demonstrates novel measurements of in situ ozone (O3) concentrations and thermodynamics sampled on‐board an instrumented Skywalker Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Small spatial and temporal gradients were observed over a localized region, w... Read More about Measurement of boundary layer ozone concentrations on-board a Skywalker unmanned aerial vehicle.
