The Arecibo Observatory (AO) is part of the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center (NAIC), which is operated by SRI International under a cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation (AST-1100968), and in alliance with Ana G. Mц©ndez-Universidad Metropolitana, and the Universities Space Research Association. Use of the AO is available on an equal, competitive basis to all scientists from throughout the world to pursue research in radio astronomy, radar astronomy and atmospheric sciences. Observing time is granted on the basis of the most promising research as adjudicated by a panel of anonymous referees.

Basic Information on the AO Site and the 305-m Telescope
The Observatory lies in the karst hills of the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico, some 10 miles south of the coastal city of Arecibo. It was constructed in 1960-63 and upgraded, first in 1972-74, and again in 1992-98. Table 1 lists basic information on the observatory site and the telescope. The Arecibo 305-m telescope is a general-purpose meter-to-centimeter wavelength instrument. Among its many possibilities, are support of the following types of investigation;
Neither planetary radar nor atmospheric physics will be
