Latest data from the NCAS Capel Dewi Atmospheric Observatory

This page provides access to plots of the latest 24 hours' worth of data from instruments operated at the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) Capel Dewi Atmospheric Observatory (CDAO).

Note that the CDAO will permanently cease operations on 31st March 2024. Information about the instruments and the data will continue to be available through the legacy NERC MSTRF website.

The plots were last updated at 2024-03-19 07:01 Local Time.

Note that the colour scheme used for the MST Radar and LD40 data plots was changed on 6th November 2022. This is to allow a colour-blind-friendly colour scheme to be trialled.
