The 1960s

Today, the town of Superior is bursting at the seams just east of NCAR's Marshall Field Site, but in 1965 the prairie around Marshall was near-empty. This swas NCAR's main site for building and testing research radars for years. Much of the activity moved to the Foothills Lab in the 1990s, although Marshall is still used by RAP and ATD for instrument building and testing.
