At the beginning of SCOS '97, both transportable instruments measured particles
as part of a radiation flux experiment. Jake was on top of Mt.
Wilson near Pasadena, CA, measuring particles "above" the inversion
layer, in conjunction with a variety of radiometers. Elwood, the other
transportable instrument, was measuring particles at CE-CERT,
in conjunction with radiometers, an actinometer, and other instrumentation.
The goal was to determine how much solar radiation penetrated the inversion
layer. This is the University of Tennessee Observatory, into which we thought
we could install Jake.
... but then we decided to leave the instrument in the truck (for a
week)!
During Jake's stay on Mt. Wilson, an impressive brushfire came pretty
close to us and broke through the inversion layer.
