Met Office surface measurements from Cardington, Bedfordshire Version 0 (2004 - 2009)

The Met Office's research unit based in Cardington, Bedfordshire, study boundary-layer meteorology and surface processes to help with the development of numerical weather prediction methods. Surface meteorological data and high resolution radiosonde data are collected from the Met Office's research site and elsewhere.

The dataset contains recorded surface meteorology and radiation measurements timed at 1, 10 and 30 minute intervals and measured by instruments mounted on 10, 25 and 50 metre masts.
