Fly high from home: Embark on a virtual tour of our atmospheric research aircraft
Take a virtual tour of our research aircraft and see behind the scenes of atmospheric science at the FAAM Airborne Laboratory.
We seek to understand our atmosphere, how it is changing, and how it impacts life on earth.
We address global challenges, through our science and our services, helping society adapt to environmental change.

Our strategy sets out our commitment to help solve the challenges of climate change, air pollution and weather hazards. Discover how our goals will help society rise to the challenges ahead.
Human exposure to air pollution is a significant global environmental burden. By improving society’s knowledge of air pollution, we contribute towards improving air quality and reducing its impacts on people and economic development.
Weather such as storms, heatwaves and cold spells can impact water resources, infrastructure, agriculture and public health. To mitigate these risks, we contribute towards improved early warnings, risk assessments and further knowledge on climate change.
Human activities are now the major driver of changes in the atmosphere and its interactions with the earth’s climate. To inform adaptation and mitigation policies, we provide robust scientific evidence on how our atmosphere is changing.
Our FAAM Airborne Laboratory operates a specially adapted world-class research aircraft.
The Atmospheric Measurement and Observation Facility (AMOF) is a UK research facility that enables advanced measurements of the atmosphere.
The Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) provides data storage and analysis capabilities for the environmental research community.
The Computational Modelling Services (CMS) supports computer simulations for climate, weather and earth-system research.
