UKEAP ammonia ALPHA samplers compare well in US study
The CEH Adapted Low-Cost Passive High Absorption (ALPHA) samplers which are used in the UKEAP National Ammonia Monitoring Network, were assessed in a recent study by Puchalski et al. (J. Environ. Monit., 2011, 13, 3156).
UKEAP User Group and Stakeholder meeting 2011
On 4th October 2011, the UKEAP Biennial User Group and Stakeholder meeting took place at CEH Wallingford, followed by a trip to the Harwell EMEP measurement Supersite, hosted by AEA. Local Site Operators (who also represented a wide range of Stakeholders) attended from across the British Isles.
2010 UKEAP Annual reports
The 2010 UKEAP Annual reports are available. Part A, the Executive summary and Part B, the Annual Report summarise overall results from the networks. The 2009 UKEAP network data is available in full in Part C, however all data is also available on-line, see links below.
Nitrogen & Global Change 2011 - Edinburgh 11th to 14th April.
Nitrogen Global Change brings together scientists, policy makers and other stakeholders to discuss the scientific progress on the role of nitrogen in global change and the relevance for policy makers. It will celebrate the launch of the European Nitrogen Assessment and scientific results of major European Nitrogen research programmes such as the EU 6th Framework project NitroEurope IP.
Deposition monitoring of the ash cloud from the Eyjafjallajökull volcano
The Eyjafjallajökull eruption has been occurring since March 2010. In April, the eruption had 2 distinct stages: first was between 14/04 and 18/04 during which the large ash cloud was formed and explosive mixing between the glacial lake and the lava occurred. The second phase was characterised by a less explosive plume. This second phase is still continuing and intermittently the plume has passed over the UK at varying altitudes.
The UK Eutrophying and Acidifying atmospheric Pollutants (UKEAP)
The UK Eutrophying and Acidifying atmospheric Pollutants (UKEAP) network project combines two Defra atmospheric pollutant monitoring projects which have measured air pollutants at rural sites across the UK over the past two decades. UKEAP sits within the wider framework of UK pollutant monitoring and contributes data to the UK and the international research effort investigating the flow of chemicals in the environment. This in turn supports the effort to understand climate and ecosystem responses to anthropogenic and biogenic emissions, and the assessment of climate, ecosystem and human impacts of acidifying and eutrophying air pollutants.
Daily data
You can now view live data for Ozone and Nitrogen Dioxide (updated daily) from our EMEP supersite at Auchencorth.
2006 Deposition Maps and Data
The 5km deposition and concentration maps for 2006 are now available on the Maps gallery together with Data for some selected pollutants.
New Network Map Search for Ammonia, Nitric Acid and Heavy Metals monitoring networks
A new UK Network Map integrating Google Maps is now available for looking up individual stations on the UK Ammonia, Nitric Acid and Heavy Metals networks. Click on the markers to reveal the name of each station. Within each 'bubble' you can click on the station name to access the data for that station.
