The AMF (Atmospheric Measurement Facility) was established in April 2014, following a review of NCAS's ground-based facilities and the service they provided to the community. AMF deploys state-of-the-art instrumentation such as radars, lidars and mass spectrometers, together with ancillary instrumentation and logistics, for a range of projects both ground-based, ship-based and airborne. It supports experiments in the UK and across the world, e.g. India, China and Ghana over the past 2 years. The laboratory facilities provide calibration standards in gas-phase chemistry at York and access to the environmental wind tunnel at Surrey University. The field sites at Weybourne, Cape Verde and the BT Tower (and though close collaboration with the STFC radars, Chilbolton and Capel Dewi) offer the community a range of environments for field experiments where the basic necessities of power, internet and space are provided, alongside standard meteorological measurements. Together, AMF offers to the community far more capacity and expertise than could be maintained at an individual University. It also has a commitment to developing data standards that enable measurements to be easily combined and re-used in future. By continuity of staff and a commitment to maintaining up-to-date provision it ensures that the UK community is able to compete internationally in experimental atmospheric science.This proposal sets out how AMF plans to continue to provide a facility meeting the needs of the NERC funded research community for high-quality atmospheric field measurements and laboratory data. The facility web pages may be accessed through the portal at www.amf.ac.uk, where the different elements are described in detail and the calendar showing when elements are available may be viewed. Applications are accepted through an on-line form at any time. Each application is assigned to an AMF instrument scientist, who performs a technical evaluation then liaises with the applicant to discuss details of the requirement. Following a successful initial appraisal, a formal offer is made to the PI defining the service to be provided. The main focus of AMF is support for NERC grant-funded projects, and priority is given to applications that are submitted alongside a JeS application. The next level of priority is given to applications for NERC NC science, NERC-funded PhD students and NERC grants where the application is received after the grant is awarded. If there is spare capacity, AMF will offer its services to other scientific organisations (like the Met Office) or commercial users, from whom suitable costs will be recovered. Generally, NERC applicants receive 2 months instrument scientist time for each project and are only asked to pay additional T&S and consumables associated with a deployment. Should a proposal require more than 2 months IS time the PI will need to find the necessary excess staff funding.AMF's core rationale is the delivery of high-quality datasets to the customer, and the nature of the dataset provided by each instrument or experiment is defined clearly on the AMF web site. Core data are supplied within 2 months of the end of an experiment; the delay allows for proper quality assurance and quality control. Derived products may also be provided through discussion with the IS but these can take longer as they rely on the scientist's individual expertise. AMF is working with the community and with CEDA to develop data standards that make all our data accessible and re-usable by future users. There has been particularly close collaboration with CFARR and MSTRF in this project which puts us on the road to the merger of the three facilities in 2020.

在对NCAS的基于地面的设施及其为社区提供的服务进行了回顾之后，AMF（大气测量设施）成立于2014年4月。 AMF部署了最先进的仪器，例如雷达，激光射击和质谱仪，以及辅助仪器和物流，用于一系列地面，基于船舶和机载的项目。它支持英国和世界各地的实验，例如在过去的两年中，印度，中国和加纳。实验室设施在约克的气相化学方面提供了校准标准，并可以进入萨里大学的环境风洞。 Weybourne，Cape Verde和BT塔的现场站点（尽管与STFC Radars，Chilbolton和Capel Dewi密切合作为社区提供了一系列现场实验环境，其中提供了电力，互联网和空间的基本必需品，并与标准的气象测量一起提供。同时，AMF为社区提供的能力和专业知识要比单个大学所能维持的要多得多。它还致力于制定数据标准，使测量能够在将来轻松组合和重复使用。通过员工的连续性以及对维持最新规定的承诺，它可以确保英国社区能够在实验性大气科学上进行国际竞争。该提案阐述了AMF计划如何继续提供满足NERC资助的研究社区需求的设施，以获得高质量的大气现场测量和实验室数据。可以通过www.amf.ac.uk的门户访问设施网页，其中详细描述了不同的元素，并且可以查看显示何时可用元素的日历。申请随时通过在线表格接受。每个应用程序都分配给AMF仪器科学家，他们执行技术评估，然后与申请人联系以讨论要求的细节。经过成功的初步评估后，向PI提供了正式的要约，以定义要提供的服务。 AMF的主要重点是支持NERC赠款资助的项目，并优先考虑与JES申请一起提交的申请。 NERC NC Science，NERC资助的博士学位学生和NERC赠款的申请将获得下一个优先级的优先级，并在授予赠款后收到申请。如果有备用容量，AMF将为其他科学组织（例如大都会办公室）或商业用户提供服务，将从中收回合适的费用。通常，NERC申请人为每个项目收到2个月的仪器科学家时间，只要求支付与部署相关的额外的T＆S和消耗品。如果提案需要超过2个月，则PI需要找到必要的员工资金。AMF的核心原理是向客户提供高质量的数据集，并且每个仪器或实验提供的数据集的性质在AMF网站上清楚地定义了。核心数据在实验结束后的2个月内提供；延迟允许适当的质量保证和质量控制。也可以通过与IS讨论一起提供派生产品，但是由于它们依靠科学家的个人专业知识，因此可能需要更长的时间。 AMF正在与社区和CEDA合作，以制定数据标准，使我们的所有数据都可以由未来的用户访问和重新使用。在这个项目中，与CFARR和MSTRF进行了特别密切的合作，这使我们在2020年与这三个设施合并的道路上。
