Welcome to the home page for the
Chilbolton Facility for Atmospheric and Radio Research
 CFARR is one of the worlds most advanced meteorological radar experimental
facilities, and is home to the worlds largest fully steerable meteorological
radar, the Chilbolton Advanced Meteorological Radar (CAMRa). Live data
from Chilbolton is showcased on the Chilbolton
Weather Web.
In addition to our ongoing research programmes in meteorology and
radio propagation, Chilbolton Observatory frequently hosts visiting
experiments and research teams from universities and other research
organisations, both from the UK and abroad. In January 2006 Chilbolton received the first signals from the new GIOVE-A satellite launched for the ESA's Galileo navigation system.
Chilbolton Observatory is part of the Science & Technology Facilities Council. The
facilities at Chilbolton are run by the Chilbolton Group of the Space
Science and Technology Department at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory
and funded largely through Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).
Forms to apply to use CFARR facilities or CFARR data archived by BADC are available from the User Info page.
