The big picture

:: The Rising Sun (strange that there are clouds) ::

Onward to the insturment

We had to get an early start to avoid the heat. That means 4 am here. The big advantage was to get to see the Sun rise over the desert each day. Most of us will were very busy scurrying about to get our equipment up and working. Thankfully, someone had the presence of mind to take a photo. Part of my experiment was to monitor the effect of temperature change on the infarred background. Hard to beat the temperature change from night to day in the desert. From 60 F to 110 F over the time of the experiment.

The picture above was taken on the 31th of July 2003.



To put my work more into context, take a look at The PNNL IR Group .
