The modified seatainer which houses the AHSRL and the NOAA millimeter
wavelength cloud radar. The lidar views the atmosphere through a
zenith facing window located on top of the white box behind the radar
antenna. The window is heated with an IR-lamp to melt snow and frost
and is sloped so that water will not pool on the surface.
The AHSRL located in the modified seatainer at Eureka.
