The installation at Summit is located at the peak of the Greenland ice cap and is nearly 400 km away from the nearest point of land. The instrument is located in a heated and highly-insulated structure known as the "Greenhouse", which is part of the research station Summit Camp. This is the first station where a SUV-150B spectroradiometer has been operationally deployed. Instrument operation and data download are performed via the Internet. Station staff assists in operation and calibration.
