I have a Research Experience Placement, from the NERC GW4+ DTP, that will be hosted at BAS for 8 weeks over the summer. It is a placement aimed at undergraduate students (eligibility details can be found on the website below).  Deadline for applications is 6th June.
 
Title:
Looking for clouds: Creating a new cloud observations dataset
 
Project Details:
The project will involve working with our new all-sky camera; helping to set it up at BAS and developing software that will utilize its data to determine cloud cover during high and low light levels. This data will be used in conjunction with other datasets from metrological instruments also based here at BAS (e.g. ceilometer) to examine the local variations in cloud levels and potentially their properties. The software will be used to determine cloud levels, in conjunction with other instruments, when the new all-sky cameras are deployed to Antarctica this coming season.
 
Further details on eligibility and how to apply can be found at: http://www.bristol.ac.uk/gw4plusdtp/research-experience-placements/
 
Many thanks,
Tracy
