We report on observations of Markarian 421 made with the Whipple 10m Cerenkov telescope and the RXTE satellite during a multi-wavelength campaign in December 2002 and January 2003, initiated by the detection of a flaring state by the Whipple 10m telescope and the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer All Sky Monitor (RXTE ASM). The observations revealed several flares with flux levels between 1 and 1.5 times the flux of the Crab Nebula. We will present results of the mutli-wavelength campaign, which included observations in the optical (courtesy of Paul Boltwood and LaPalma), radio (coursety of the University of Michigan Radio Astronomy Observeratory, x-ray (taken with the RXTE PCA and ASM), and TeV gamma-ray bands (taken with the Whipple 10m telescope, as well as the HEGRA CT1 telescope). The observations covered several flares of intermediate strength. We will discuss the temporal properties, including evidence of X-ray/TeV gamma-ray flux correlation.
