The radars highlighted in the square brackets for each interval should run rbspscan (a full scan of at least 16 beams with an interleaved mini-scan of 3 beams, with a scan time of 2-min). All other radars should run a 'normal' 1-min common time mode e.g., normalscan. The PIs/operators are welcome to adapt the mode to best fit the geometry of the conjunctions (e.g., by adapting the range gates) - VAP footprint plots can be found at http://www.southampton.ac.uk/~rcf2c13/VAP/ .
