APG at METCRAXII

The Atmospheric Profiling Group (APG)  deployed an ISS (Integrated Sounding System) to Meteor Crater, Arizona, for the METCRAX-II field campaign in the fall of 2013.  The system included our 449 MHz modular wind profiler radar, a GAUS radiosonde sounding system, a sodar-RASS, a mini-Doppler wind lidar, and one 12m meteorological tower.  A large range of other instrumentation was also being deployed in the same area by a variety of other groups.  The project is lead by Prof Dave Whiteman and colleagues from the University of Utah and Arizona State University (link to their web page for the project).
