Dave Boprie's photos from the installation of the
UMich trucks at the CLPX LSOS, 14-18 Oct, 2002.
Directions and locations below are approximate. I'm
guessing what they must be from the photo and Janet's map
while setting up the webpage here in my office.
Prior to departure, Natasha at work.
Prior to departure, Natasha proudly displaying the mechanical arrangement of the radiometers in the lab.
Prior to departure, Dave giving his approval of the mechanical assembly.
Prior to departure, Roger checking the fit of one of the MMW radiometer cases with one of his favorite tools.
Prior to departure, Pete and Lisa peering out of the fab room, where they've been assembling the radiometer guts, into the DSDR lab, where the radiomter fit check is taking place.
Prior to departure, Natasha, Boon, James and Roger taking a short break from hauling hardware out to the radiometer truck.

Roger De Roo, Haoyu Gu, the El Rancho restaurant parking lot.
Back row: the Colorado Front Range.
The UMich radar truck sneaking past the UTokyo micromet installation late Monday. Looking east from around S25 E40.
The GMBR on the volleyball court, looking SW from S30 E50.
Haoyu digging the hole at N01 E33. Looking NW from S05 E40.
The radar truck in it's final location. The boom is out and Gilles is checking operation and reach. It is in the configuration we expect for assembling the radars. Looking SE from S20 E70.
Hanh and Haoyu still digging that hole at N01 E33. Looking SW from right above the hole.
The snow temperature array being assembled. Somewhere in the little back clearing.
UMich micromet array, showing (left to right) the tower at N02 E29, the hole at N01 E33, and the snow temp array at N03 E34. The hole at N04 E25 is in the photograph to the left of and behind the tower, but is not visible. That fallen log in the foreground has been tossed over the fence before we left. Looking NW from S05 E40.
Another shot from county road 73.
Another shot from county road 73, including horses.
Close-up of one of the holes, after nearly everythings been installed. I think this is the hole at N04 E25, which needed one of the heat flux disks dug up and repaired.
The lounge (left) and the dorm (right), with the UMich Jeep in foreground. The circuit breaker box on the lounge is visible at the right edge of the lounge; the outlets below it and the extension cords coming off of it going behind the Jeep are not visible. Looking NW from S50 E30.
GMBR on the volleyball court, with the radar truck barely visible through the trees on the right. Looking E from S50 E30.
UMich radar truck, intalled, and Gary Koh's tower looking SE from S30 E60.

UMich micromet and radiometer truck, in final positions. Tree 21 is in foreground. Looking NW from S10 E60.
View from UMich radiometer truck, towards its intended field-of-view. Kelly informs me that the little tree in the center of the photo garlanded in maize and blue is now gone. It'll make a nice Christmas tree for somebody. The UMich micromet tower is at the right edge of the photo. The disturbed soil of the hole at N01 E33 is visible on the right side of the photo (see next photo for a more positive ID). Looking W from N00 E50.
UMich micromet tower behind the snow temperature array. The disturbed soil of the hole at N01 E33 is visible on the left side of the photo. Looking W from N05 E40.
