    Abstract

    The design goals of the Mobile Integrated Sounding System (MISS) were discussed, and results from the MISS test deployments which took place in eastern Colorado in summer 2003, were presented. MISS is designed to make measurements similar to those made by the Integrated Sounding System, but with the ability to move more quickly between locations. MISS sensors include a 915 MHz boundary layer radar wind profiler, a radio acousting sounding system for temperature profiling, and surface sensors for wind, temperature, relative humidity, and radiation. The test results show that the probability of success in setting up MISS in the best location, it is important that the deployment time be reduced significantly.
