It is a high-wing, twin-engine, turbo-prop aircraft designed to operate in remote environments and is easily modified to fit scientific instrumentation.\r\nIt possesses a certified fit of airborne atmospheric instrumentation suitable for atmospheric, boundary layer and cloud/aerosol studies and a multi-sensor payload typically consisting of a LiDAR, hyperspectral systems (VNIR, SWIR and LWIR) and a digital camera. The instrument suite includes standard temperature and water vapour sensors as well as a turbulence probe allowing full atmospheric profile measurements of temperature, dew point and winds. A DMT Cloud and aerosol spectrometer (CAPS) probe is used for cloud studies. Other standard PMS pod instruments can easily be accommodated. There is also a closed path Licor H2O/CO2 instrument, Grimm optical particle counter and cloud condensation nuclei counter fed from simple Rosemount inlets.","keywords":"BAS, Twin, Otter, NERC-ARF","identifier_set":["https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/identifiers/9366/?format=json"],"platformType":"aircraft","parentPlatform":[],"childPlatform":[],"responsiblepartyinfo_set":["https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/101727/?format=json","https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/101728/?format=json","https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/110940/?format=json","https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/101729/?format=json"]}
