The UFAM intercomparison field campaign took place in September 2002 at the Met Office Meteorological Research Unit (MRU), Cardington. The aim of the campaign was to inter-compare measurements of wind speed and direction and turbulence parameters made with several of the UFAM instruments and the Met Office in-situ balloon borne tethersondes. The MRU staff operating the tethered balloon facility.

The following UFAM instruments participated in this campaign

• UFAM Doppler lidar, operated by the University of Salford;
• UFAM wind profiler, operated by the University of Aberystwyth; and
• one of the UFAM sodars, operated by the University of Leeds.
  

The Intercomparison study data are public. However,

The data are located in the UFAM archive.

All files in the UFAM Intercomparison study archive are written using the NetCDF data format.

Other projects and campaigns that have made use of UFAM instruments are:

• The North Atlantic Marine Bounday Layer EXperiment (NAMBLEX).
• The Tropospheric ORganic CHemistry experiment (TORCH) - part of the Polluted Troposphere thematic program.
