Sondrestrom Lidar Operation Log


Operator(s) : E.Guðmundsson
Purpose : Taking background data to verify RX halfwave plate tracking
Date(s) : 020523 - 020524
File(s) : L20020523_003 - L20020524_001
Comments : During the test the TX halfvave plate was in flipping mode.
Heavy clouds formed during the day and some clouds remained towards the
eavning.
thin clouds interfering present troughout the run.
