Instrument MeasurementSummary

• AERI - Vertical temperature and water vapor
  profiles to three kilometers at ten minute
  resolution, full tropospheric profiles when
  combined with hourly GOES or RUC-2 analysis
  profiles
• GPS - Integrated water vapor at half hourly time
  resolution, must be post processed by Seth
  Gutman, needed to be at a stationary location for
  at least ten days
• Surface Station - one minute, p, t, q, v, u
• Vaisala Ceilometer - Cloud base heights every
  minute (may not be needed)
