 Today I met with meteorologist Dr. Taneil Uttal from ETL (Environmental Technology Lab) in Boulder, Colorado. She is head of a group that has done cloud studies in the Arctic. On this trip one of the things Dr. Uttal wants to determine is how similar marine clouds are to Artic clouds. To do this she and her associate Duane Hazen use radiometers and radar which are all packed into a trailer. The whole trailer is on the deck of the Ron Brown. Think of the trailer as a big package of instruments. Duayne's job is to keep the machinery running. In the photo you can see the radar antennae on top of the trailer. It is there to measure the lectromagnetic radiation at a certain frequency. |

Consider this web site, as well as the TAO web site, a resource for teaching your students.
Many organizations and countries are involved in funding the EPIC Experiment. Primary U. S. funding is provided by The National Science Foundation and The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
