Weybourne Atmospheric Observatory Weybourne Road Weybourne, Holt Norfolk, UK, NR25 7EH
WAO is a coastal station located approximately 50m from the shoreline in rural Norfolk and experiences air with a wide range of pollution levels from a broad range of sources. Predominant south-westerlies bring polluted air from the UK (including from London and the Midlands). At times, especially in anticyclonic conditions, WAO experiences polluted air from Europe. WAO can also receive clean background air in northerly air flow. This can be impacted by narrow pollution plumes from shipping in the North Sea, and potentially gas platforms.
