Periods of S-Pol Operation

S-Pol NAME2004, La Cruz, Mexico
Jul/Aug 2004



The S-Pol phase of NAME2004 ran from early July through 25-Aug-2004. It was intended to run S-Pol "24/7", with some very limited downtime allowed for testing of the new Ka-band radar system. Full details of the ops periods, with downtime, will be developed.
