Sondrestrom Lidar Operation Log


Operator(s) : John Geiszler
Purpose : routine data collection
Date(s) : 050710 - 050711
File(s) : L20050710_003 - L20050711_004
Comments : gaps in data coverage were faults with the data acquisition software, not equipment
or cloud cover. Experiment halted due to low signal and large amounts of
haze/cloud cover.
