| Name: | Mesosphere-Stratosphere-Troposphere (MST) Radar Facility |
| Description: | Mesosphere-Stratosphere-Troposphere (MST) Radar at Aberystwyth is the UK’s most powerful and versatile windprofiling instrument. It is unique in being able to provide continuous measurements of the three-dimensional wind vector over the altitude range 2-20 km at high resolution (typically 300 m in altitude and a few minutes in time). It can also provide information about atmospheric stability, turbulence, humidity and rainfall. Its data are therefore ideally suited for studying everything from small-scale atmospheric phenomena through to large-scale weather systems. |

| Name: | Space Geodesy Facility (SGF) |
| Description: | SGF Herstmonceux is the UK’s observatory dedicated to satellite and gravitational geodesy. Its highly accurate satellite laser range, global navigational satellite and gravity measurements impact upon a very wide range of international science, from underpinning work essential to global sea level and ice mass-balance studies, to the realisation of a mm-accuracy global reference frame upon which a huge variety of scientific and commercial activities depend. The state-of-the-art laser ranging system makes mm-accuracy measurements of the distances of a constellation of Earth-orbiting artificial satellites, from dedicated geodetic spheres, to large Earth-monitoring laboratories and an increasing number of global navigation satellites. The satellite observations are made available rapidly and freely, without application to the Facility, to the UK and worldwide community through the data centres of two of the Services of the International Association of Geodesy, the International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS) and the International Global Navigational Satellite System Service (IGS), with which Services the Facility is registered. |

| Name: | European Incoherent Scatter Radar UK (EISCAT-UK) |
| Description: | EISCAT is an international research organisation operating three radars (UHF, VHF and EISCAT Svalbard Radar), an ionospheric heater and two Dynasondes. The radars conduct research on the lower, middle and upper atmosphere and ionosphere, using incoherent scatter, the most powerful ground-based technique for this type of research. EISCAT measures profiles of electron density, electron and ion temperature and ion velocity. Subsequent processing can produce further parameters, describing the ionosphere and neutral atmosphere. EISCAT can also be used to study plasma instabilities, for investigations of the middle atmosphere and as a diagnostic instrument for heating experiments. A selection of radar pulse schemes is available to adapt the experiments to the appropriate measurement regime, between about 50km and more than 1000 km altitude. |
