AMF Operations
Members of the AMF1 installation team prepare the instrument field at the deployment site at Point Reyes National Seashore.
Operations of the ARM mobile facilities encompasses planning, logistics, installation, and on-site maintenance and monitoring of all instruments and data systems. Consisting of a baseline suite of instruments, communications and data systems, and operations shelters, the AMF is transported to the site, where a small team sets up the various components. Once installation is complete, one or two technicians operate the facility 24/7 throughout its deployment.
Because of the complexity involved in planning and deploying for a different field campaign on an annual basis, each AMF is managed and operated by a different team.
