Overview
Multiple kinds of vehicles are utilized during field campaigns to carry instrument payloads. These can include trucks, cars, and/or vans with instruments mounted on them and trailers that house instrument suites. Vehicles are useful platforms because they can give ground truth measurements from a variety of locations, including otherwise hard-to-reach areas.

The Doppler on Wheels (DOW) is a network of mobile Doppler radars operated by the Center for Severe Weather Research (CSWR). DOW consists of three dual-frequency, dual-polarization radars that operate in the X-band frequency range (9.35-9.55 GHz). They have a narrow beam (0.8-0.9 degree), rapid-scan capabilities, and gate spacing length of 15 to 600 meters. DOW radars are mounted on 7500 series International Workstar Trucks and are easily deployable to various locations to provide radar measurements of meteorological phenomena such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and microbursts. The DOW has participated in several research and educational programs since its inception in the 1990s and has been a part of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Lower Atmospheric Observing Facilities (LAOF) program since 2008.

The Autonomous Parsivel Unit (APU) is an in situ ground-based optical disdrometer. APU measures the size and fall velocity of hydrometeors with a size range of 0-25mm and fall velocities between 0-20 m/s. From these measurements, the drop size distribution, type, intensity, and amount of precipitation can be determined. APU operates in the 650-780 nm wavelength range and has a typical sampling frequency of 10 s.

Generic-Atmospheric State (Gen-AtmsState) refers to non-specific instruments on a platform used for measurements of atmospheric state parameters. These are typically in situ sensors that measure temperature, pressure, humidity, and wind speed/direction. Types of atmospheric state instruments include thermometers, hygrometers, barometers, and anemometers.
