Antenna and Ceilometer Atop AMF shelter
A telemetry antenna (left) and a ceilometer (right) are easily accessible atop one of the ARM Mobile Facility (AMF) instrument shelters. The AMF was deployed for the first time in spring 2005 at Point Reyes, California, as part of a field campaign to study the microphysical characteristics of marine stratus clouds. The telemetry antenna receives signals from airborne radiosondes transmitting weather data, while the ceilometer uses pulses of light to measure cloud-base height at up to three levels and potential backscatter signals from aerosols and precipitation.
