Sondrestrom Lidar Operation Log


Operator(s) : Katelynn Greer
Purpose : Track Noise sources in the system
Date(s) : 080724 - 080724
File(s) : L20080724_000 - L20080724_000
Comments : Attempted an experiment to track noise in the system, look at periods of
modulation and especially the suspected 1/2 wave plate controller. Unfortunately,
there is not enough background noise at night to work with. I will have to try this
again earlier in the day tomorrow.
