GCPEx instrumentation at the SkyDive Airport 11km east of the main CARE site.
The antenna on the top of the trailer is a Micro Rain Radar (MRR). Note the large double fencing around additional instruments behind the trailer. The double fencing reduces errors due to blowing snow. Photo taken 7 February 2012.
