Initial results from the 2004 North Slope of Alaska Arctic winter radiometric experiment

A multiinstrument radiometric experiment was conducted on the North Slope of Alaska near Barrow, Alaska, during March 9 to April 9 2004. Initial radiometric and radiosonde data from this experiment are presented.
