Moody Tower Passage Measurements

Moody Tower has plenty of power going to T1-T3. Need to know how much power required for each group in case we need to balance loads going to a particular trailer. This will be in questionnaire.

Primary Limitation on Moody Tower will be Trailer Space. Each group need to ask for instrument footprint plus some access space. We will provide space in other nearby locations for supplies, tools, and portable calibration systems. Pretend you are on an aircraft. See questionnaire.

We are trying to rent two conferences rooms in North Moody Tower (17th and 14th floors) so PI groups can have place to work on data and store some calibration materials.

There will be two 40 foot storage containers at the base of the South Moody Tower. This will be used to store empty shipping cases and excess cylinders.

Moody Towers is a UH undergraduate dormitory. All researchers working at Moody Tower will need a CougarOne Card to get access to Moody Tower every day.

Restrooms: The 17th Floor is a Women's Floor and restrooms are only open to women. Male scientists can use restrooms on the 16th or 14th floors.

Scientists are restricted to 14th floor conference room, 16th floor restrooms, 17th conference room, and 18th floor balcony only. No reason to be on other locations. Moody Tower lobby also has ATM, convenience store, and dining hall.

Having names of participants in advance will speed up access.

HARC, TCEQ, UH, and FBI hope to have letters (with contact phone numbers) for Max-DOAS, I-DOAS, SOF, Aerodyne scientists to help them if they get stopped by security or other authorities. Please give names of all possible participants to Alex Cuclis well in advance.
