definition
  • A single Radiation Measurement System (RAMS) consists of a variety of broadband and spectral radiometers developed and maintained by the Atmospheric Research Laboratory at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego. A RAMS is mounted on both the zenith and nadir positions on each aircraft for the purpose of measuring both downwelling and upwelling fluxes. All of the instruments composing a RAMS have hemispheric fields-of-view and are located in positions on each aircraft which minimize obstructions from their view (i.e., tail fins, radio antennas, landing gear, etc.). Because both downwelling and upwelling fluxes are measured on a single plane, the net flux at a given altitude is easily inferred by a pair of RAMS. The RAMS Instrument package has been part of the ARM-UAV program and has flown on and been located at surface stations during the ARESE, S96, F96 and F97 flight series.

Abstract from DBPedia
    In engineering, RAMS (reliability, availability, maintainability and safety) is used to characterize a product or system: * Reliability – as ability to perform a specific function and may be given as design reliability or operational reliability. * Availability, – as ability to keep a functioning state in the given environment. * Maintainability – as ability to be timely and easily maintained (including servicing, inspection and check, repair and/or modification). * Safety – as ability not to harm people, the environment, or any assets during a whole life cycle. * Systems engineering * Dependability * Failure mode * Failure rate * Failure mode, effects, and criticality analysis (FMECA) * Hazard analysis and critical control points * High availability * Risk assessment * Reliability-centered maintenance * Safety instrumented system * Safety integrity level * Reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) * Fault injection
