# Notes:

Special Time notes:

This was a spacecraft working group request to support CLUSTER observations of the auroral acceleration region. In the following notes the radars shown should run a version of normal scan that allows the setting of the range gate separation to 15km (keeping the lag to first range gate at 180 km). All other radars should run a standard normal scan. The number of range gates should be at least 75 but can be more at the discretion of the operator. The scan time should be 1-min.

Common Time (THEMIS) notes:

This was a spacecraft working group request to support CLUSTER observations of the auroral acceleration region. The following notes detail which radars need to run themisscan with the associated non-default camping beams. All other radars should run normalscan during these particular intervals (note 'normalscan' not 'themisscan'). For non-noted themis intervals themisscan should be run as usual.

[note 1]    non-default camping beams - WAL beam 9 
[note 2]    non-default camping beams - CVW beam 9 
[note 3]    non-default camping beams - FHW beam 9
