Summary: The Boulder Atmospheric Observatory (BAO) is a unique national facility operated jointly by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) . The BAO, located 25 km east of the Rocky Mountains near Boulder, Colorado, consists of a 300-m instrumented meteorological tower, an array of ground-based remote and immersion sensing instruments, and a system for acquiring and archiving data. The facility is used for evaluating and testing meteorological instruments including remote sensors and for the study of boundary-layer dynamics, air pollution chemistry, and relationships between these areas of science and larger-scale meteorology.Summary: This report describes the instruments tested and compared and equipment used during Project PHOENIX, a major field study of the planetary boundary layer. The data-gathering systems evaluated include multiple-Doppler radar, microwave radiometer, FM-CW radar, TPQ11 radar, lidar, optical wind sensors, the Portable Automated Mesonet (PAM) , rawinsonde, microbarograph , acoustic sounders, balloons, aircraft, and the 300-m BAO tower. Also provided are a discussion of the project's background and planning, a description of the synoptic weather situation during the experiment, instructions for access to the data, and a daily summary log of PHOENIX operations.
