Description

This talk will be an overview of the physics and techniques that underlay the performance of all-sky ground-based gamma-ray observatories. An important aspect of the discussion will be on establishing the scientific case for building such an instrument. I will end with some generic simulation results that demonstrate the effect of altitude on the response of such arrays and some potential locations for such an array.
