General
Description

The COSMOSOMAS experiment has been running for several years at the Observatorio del Teide. Since 2003 work on COSMOSOMAS has been upgraded from the usual maintenance functions to a programme of improvements as a result of renewed scientific interest in these observations. The improvements largely consist of tuning to achieve reliable data quality and improving security at the installations.
