| has gloss | eng: The Tenerife Experiment was a Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiment built by Jodrell Bank of the University of Manchester and in collaboration with the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (IAC). It was installed and run at the Observatorio del Teide in Tenerife in 1984 and ran with various upgrades and additional experiments until 2000. Contact was made with the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) which had shown that the Teide Observatory was an ideal site for infra-red observations. An agreement was arrived at and the first radiometer (10 GHz) was installed in 1984 and so was born the Tenerife Experiment. |
