"Testing an Infrared Radiometer for Millimetre Astronomy (IRMA) on Mauna Kea"
ABSTRACT: "The third evolution of the IRMA water vapour monitors takes
the previously
demonstrated basic principles of operation (an IR detector measuring 20um
water vapour rotation transition lines) and assembles all the required
components in a compact, maintainance free package. Three units are being
tested during May and June, initially in a stand-alone mode next to the
JCMT/SMA seeing monitors, and then attached to three of the SMA dishes in
an attempt to demonstrate phase correction."
