Sondrestrom Lidar Operation Log


Operator(s) : John, Geiszler, John Geiszler
Purpose : Routine Data Collection/NLC Hunt
Date(s) : 050614 - 050615
File(s) : L20050614_005 - L20050615_003
Comments : Good data until about 2:45 GMT, then strong cloud cover moved in, preventing
any further data acquisition. Most of this run was under some light cirrus cover, so
there was little good Raleigh data, but the Na detection was strong during two
periods at about 95-100km.
