As everyone probably knows, this is the "Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-Wave Astronomy," a joint venture of CalTech, the Univ. of California at Berkeley, the Univ. of Illinois at Urbana-Campaign, and the Univ. of Maryland. Developing the CARMA site will involve moving the six 10-meter telescopes from OVRO, together with nine 6-meter antennas from the BIMA array. The new CARMA site is at an altitude of 7300 ft, almost twice as high as the present OVRO and BIMA locations, with correspondingly less water vapor and better atmospheric transparency. [For reference, the ALMA site is at ~16500 ft.] The CARMA site is also relatively close to the existing OVRO site, and access is good; for the ceremony, we were transported in regular buses from OVRO to the site. It's a relatively flat area, easily accommodating the ~2km max baselines planned for the array. The plan is for the separate BIMA and OVRO arrays to cease operation in June 2004, with their antennas then to be moved to the new site and the combined array becoming operational in 2005.
