The rooftop sensors are those used in the JMRF mobile mesonets. Rooftop heat and air provide year-round operation capability in either fixed, deployable, or fully mobile modes. 15-passenger vans is the ususal platform. Deployable ground-based units, including those requiring umbilicals can be accommodated. Depends upon the system.
Most PIs bring their own desktop or laptops for data recording of other sensors.
There is a small pool of laptops available for users. Safe driving conditions. Mobile labs have been used in forecasting experiments prior to storm initiation, hazards to space vehicle launch at Kennedy Space Center, severe storm research, winter storm research, hurricanes at landfall, etc.
