Millimeterwellenradiometrische Messung stratosphärischer Spurengase auf Grönland : Aufbau und Inbetriebnahme des neuen RAMAS-Radiometers
This work discusses the development and deployment of the new ground-based millimeter wave radiometer RAMAS at Summit, Central Greenland. It detects rotational molecule spectra within the frequency range of 265 - 281 GHz, which can be used to retrieve atmospheric trace gas profiles. Summit Camp at t...
