Data from the Met Office's Cyclone Database, consisting of flat files from the database covering 2000-2005 with associated charts. The database holds lists of cyclones, their types and structural information about each cyclone and associated features as derived from analysis of the UK Met Office Unified Model.

DESIRE (Dynamics of the Earth System and the Ice-Core Record) was part of QUEST (Quantifying and Understanding the Earth System) Theme 2. This dataset contains measurements of chemical traces and meteorological from the TOMCAT (Tropospheric Offline Model of Chemistry and Transport model), as part of the Work Package 1.3. The aim of this work package was to identify any atmospheric chemical signal preserved in the ice-core record that could be used to differentiate between the influences on atmospheric methane of changes in methane emissions and changes in oxidising capacity between the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and the pre-industrial era (PI). A series of experiments was carried out using the Cambridge parallelised-Tropospheric Offline Model of Chemistry and Transport (p-TOMCAT; v2.0 beta), the results to which are contained in this dataset.

This dataset consists of the Digital Terrain Model 10m resolution data (DTM10) from the NEXTMap British Digital Terrain Model project produced by Intermap. These data have a spatial resolution of 5m and cover the British Isles.

This dataset consists of the Digital Surface Model (DSM) from the NEXMap British Digital Terrain Model project produced by Intermap. These data have a spatial resolution of 5m and cover the British Isles.

The BGS Estimated Ambient Background Soil Chemistry Scotland digital soil chemistry data indicates the estimated geometric mean topsoil concentrations (mg kg-1) of Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni) and Lead (Pb). The soil chemistry data is based on GBASE (Geochemical Baseline Survey of the Environment) stream sediment data converted to top soil equivalent potentially harmful element(PHE) concentrations. This dataset covers Scotland but data is available for the whole of Great Britain, with the exception of the London area where an inadequate number of geochemical samples are available at the moment.

RSF - BGS07/01 project. Monitoring the former Sao Domingos mine with respect to contamination patterns derived from waste mining materials and related Acid Mine Drainage (AMD). Lead by Dra. Lidia Quintal, Instituto Nacional de Engenharia, Tecnologia e Inovacao & Claire Fleming, British Geological Survey, Keyworth (Nottingham NG12 5GG).

This dataset contains measurements of ethane, propane, butane, cyclopentane, pentane and hexane. Oxidant and Particle Photochemical Processes above a South-East Asian tropical rain forest (OP3-Danum-08) is a 3-year Consortium Grant of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), beginning 1 October 2007. The objectives of the OP3 project are (i) to understand how emissions of reactive trace gases from a tropical rain forest mediate the production and processing of oxidants and particles in the troposphere, and (ii) to better understand the impact of these processes on local, regional and global scale atmospheric composition, chemistry and climate.
