Ground-based mobile instrument Workshop Summary, 23-24 February 2000, Boulder, Colorado

This paper summarizes the results of a workshop on ground-based mobile instruments, which was held at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, in February 2000. An inventory of both existing and planned instrumentation is given. Sessions on radars, lidars. profilers, and in situ sensors are briefly reviewed. Discussions on emerging technologies, scientific problems amenable to data collection by ground-based mobile instruments, and educational opportunities are also summarized. Consensus recommendations for future developments are presented.
