Instrument

NCAR MISS
NCAR Mobile Integrated Sounding System

The NCAR Mobile Integrated Sounding System (MISS) is the mobile version of the Integrated Sounding System. It is a suite of multiple instrument sensors on a larger trailer towed by a truck. The sensors include a 915 MHz wind profiler radar, radiosondes, and surface meteorology measurements. The MISS provides atmospheric profiles of winds, temperature, humidity, and pressure. It is designed to be rapidly deployable and is typically used during convective storms.
