AMOF Transformation Plan

AMOF将是满足英国大气科学界观测需求的一站式服务。从外部看，AMOF将作为一个设施出现：AMF和NFARR之间的分歧将消失。AMOF将继续遵循以下从AMF、CFARR和MSTRF发展而来的原则：1.强调向明确的高标准提供数据和元数据；2.操作程序的透明度。编制标准作业程序文件；3.尽可能与国际标准保持一致(如ACTRIS)；4.与CEDA密切合作，确保数据和元数据的有效传播和存档；5.提供软件工具，协助数据的使用、可视化和合并；6.向社区提供可靠、开放和透明的服务；7.提供从数据获取、质量控制到交付和长期获取的综合服务。AMOF与用户的主要链接将是网站www.amof.ac.uk，该网站将于2020年3月11日上线。这是一个为AMOF设计的全新网站，涵盖了该设施提供的所有产品、应用程序和有关该设施的其他信息。AMOF的核心交付成果是提供世界级的设施来支持大气科学的实验测量，包括配备齐全的野外工作观测站，能够托管短期或长期访问仪器的部署。

AMOF will be a "one-stop-shop" meeting the observational needs of the UK atmospheric science community. From the outside, AMOF will appear as one facility: the divisions between AMF and NFARR will disappear.AMOF will continue the following principles developed from AMF, CFARR, and MSTRF:1. Emphasis on the provision of data and metadata to defined, high standards;2. Transparency of operating procedures. Documentation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs);3. Consistency with international standards wherever possible (e.g. ACTRIS);4. Close collaboration with CEDA to ensure effective dissemination and archiving of data and metadata;5. Provision of software tools to aid working with, visualising and combining data;6. Provision of a robust reliable service to the community that is open and transparent in its operation;7. Provision of a joined-up service from data acquisition through quality control to delivery and long-term access. AMOF's main link to users will be the website www.amof.ac.uk, which will become live on 11 March 2020. This is a completely new website designed for AMOF, covering all the products offered by the Facility, the application process, and other information about the Facility.AMOF core deliverable is the delivery of a world-class facility to support experimental measurements in atmospheric science, including well-appointed observatory sites for fieldwork, capable of hosting short- or long-term deployments of visiting instruments.
