Background: The image shows instrumentation mounted on the "Sky Deck" of the ARM Programs's NSA/AAO field site during the 2004 Water Vapor IOP that was conducted March 9-April 9, 2004. The major goal was to demonstrate that millimeter wavelength radiometers can substantially improve water vapor observations during the Arctic winter.
Radiometers that were deployed include the Ground-based Scanning Radiometer of NOAA's Environmental Technology Laboratory (several frequencies from 50 to 380 GHz), the Microwave Radiometer, and the Radiometric Profiler of ARM (frequencies from 22.235 to 60 GHz) and the Montana State Infrared Cloud Imager (ICI). Three posters describing results from this experiment have been submitted for the 2005 ARM Science Team Meeting.
