Array of instruments
Instrument setups, such as the one shown here, are installed at the third ARM Mobile Facility (AMF3) in Oliktok Point, Alaska, to obtain continuous measurements of clouds, aerosol, precipitation, energy, and other meteorological variables.
In the center is an anemometer, and an infrared thermometer (IRT) is attached to the side of a microwave radiometer profiler (MWP).
During several two-week campaign periods in 2015 and 2016, the Evaluation of Routine Atmospheric Sounding Measurements using Unmanned Systems (ERASMUS) deployed unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to take measurements of atmospheric conditions, particularly those related to clouds, aerosols, and radiation. These data support the routine measurements that come from the third ARM Mobile Facility (AMF3) stationed at Oliktok Point, Alaska.
