Sondrestrom Lidar Operation Log


Operator(s) : John Geiszler
Purpose : data collection
Date(s) : 050728 - 050728
File(s) : L20050727_000 - L20050728_001
Comments : attempting to run lidar whenever cloud cover clears tonight
There has been some sort of error with the reading from the dye laser wavemeter.
In the laser room, it is functioning and I can monitor it, but the ARCLITE2
software is not displaying a readout. I will make a note to ask Eggert about this
when he arrives later this morning.
