Long-term measurements of the atmospheric composition are required for a full understanding of the effects of human emissions of greenhouse gases and pollutants. For historic reasons, the network of observing stations run under the auspices of the World Meteorological Organisation's Global Atmospheric Watch program has some regions which are well studied (e.g. Europe and North America) and some which are not. One region where the observing capability is limited is that part of Southeast Asia and the West Pacific known as the 'Maritime Continent'. In this project, we will work with the University of Malaya and the Malaysian Meteorological Department to develop a high-quality, long-term atmospheric monitoring program at the new field station at Bachok on the Malaysian peninsula. This site is extremely well located for studies of the outflow of the rapidly developing Southeast Asian countries, as well as for the interaction of that air with the much cleaner atmosphere in the southern hemisphere. The Universities of Cambridge and East Anglia both have experience in making long-term measurements. In particular UEA have operated a well-instrumented observing site at Weybourne on the north Norfolk coast for well over a decade. This expertise will be used to develop the existing capability in Malaysia and to design and implement a programme of long-term measurements at Bachok. The focus of the measurements in the first instance will be greenhouse gases, ozone depleting substances, and chemical pollutants. In addition we will be encouraging the involvement of other interested scientists in NCAS Composition, the UK more generally and beyond to strengthen the planned measurement program. A demonstration activity will be arranged in the winter monsoon season when the flow is strongly from Southeast Asia. This activity will have two aims: (i) ensuring high quality measurements are made at the site; and (ii) determine the characteristics of the site and its suitability for the assessment of both global and regional atmospheric composition. Many of the measurements made in this activity will then be continued in to the monitoring programme. It is important to ensure that such measurements are fully exploited, and to this end we will both collaborate with partners in Taiwan and Australia and develop a modelling strategy for the interpretation of the data in conjunction with UK modelling groups including those at Cambridge, UEA and within NCAS. Exchange visits will be used for training purposes and for the development of collaborative interpretive studies (and peer-reviewed publications). Finally, a major scientific conference will be held towards the end of the project, linking in to international programs such as WMO-GAW, IGAC or SOLAS.

为了充分了解人类排放温室气体和污染物的影响，需要对大气成分进行长期测量。由于历史原因，在世界气象组织全球大气监视计划支持下运行的观测站网络中，有些地区得到了充分研究（例如欧洲和北美），而有些地区则没有得到充分研究。观测能力有限的地区之一是被称为“海洋大陆”的东南亚和西太平洋部分地区。在这个项目中，我们将与马来亚大学和马来西亚气象局合作，在马来西亚半岛巴佐的新野外站制定高质量、长期的大气监测计划。该地点地理位置优越，非常适合研究快速发展的东南亚国家的外流，以及该空气与南半球清洁得多的大气的相互作用。剑桥大学和东安格利亚大学都有进行长期测量的经验。特别是东英吉利大学在诺福克北部海岸的韦伯恩运营了一个设备齐全的观测站十多年来。这些专业知识将用于发展马来西亚的现有能力，并在巴佐设计和实施长期测量计划。首先测量的重点将是温室气体、臭氧消耗物质和化学污染物。此外，我们将鼓励其他感兴趣的科学家参与英国 NCAS 组成，以加强计划中的测量计划。示范活动将在冬季风季，来自东南亚的气流强烈时安排。这项活动有两个目标：(i) 确保现场进行高质量的测量； (ii) 确定该地点的特征及其评估全球和区域大气成分的适宜性。此活动中进行的许多测量将继续纳入监测计划。重要的是要确保此类测量得到充分利用，为此，我们将与台湾和澳大利亚的合作伙伴合作，并与英国建模小组（包括剑桥大学、东英吉利大学和 NCAS 的建模小组）一起制定解释数据的建模策略。交流访问将用于培训目的和合作解释研究（和同行评审出版物）的发展。最后，将在项目结束时举行一次重要的科学会议，与 WMO-GAW、IGAC 或 SOLAS 等国际计划联系起来。
