Millersville Atmospheric Research And Aerostat Facility
About the MARAF
Millersville Atmospheric Research and Aerostat Facility (MARAF) is a mobile lab that has been deployed to support several projects spanning coast to coast. Dr. Greg Blumberg, assistant professor of Meteorology, is the lead researcher for MARAF. However, several undergraduate students provide invaluable support both in conducting the field research and analyzing the data. MARAF utilizes more than $1 million in equipment including Tethered balloon (met/chem/particles), Rawinsonde (GPS), Micropulse LiDAR(MPL4), MFAS Acoustic Sodar w/RASS, 10-meter flux tower, Surface trace gases, Surface aerosol scattering, among others. For more information, contact Dr. Greg Blumberg (717-871-7434).
