Summary
Abstract: The Advanced Microwave Precipitation Radiometer (AMPR) was deployed during The
First ISCCP Regional Experiment-III Arctic Cloud Experiment (FIRE-III/ACE).
AMPR data were collected at four microwave frequencies (10.7, 19.35, 37.1 and
85.5 GHz) for the period of 10 May 1999 through 08 June 1999. The FIRE-III/ACE
mission is to study sea-ice melting, sea-ice drift, and other sea-ice
properties. The experiment was focused on the Arctic Ocean in and near the
Beaufort Sea off the northern coast of Alaska, in coordination with the
ice-bound research ship Sheba.
