Special Time notes:

Note A: ARASE - This is a spacecraft working group request to support the
ARASE/ERG mission. The radars highlighted in the square brackets for each
interval should run interleaved_normalscan (a full scan of at least 16
beams with a non-sequential manner that interleaves the beam number, with a
scan time of 1-min). All other radars should run a 'normal' 1-min common
time mode e.g., normalscan. Footprint plots can be found at
https://ergsc.isee.nagoya-u.ac.jp/cef/orbit_ergsd.cgi .

Note B: THEMISSCAN - This is a spacecraft working group request to support
the MMS mission. All radars should run themisscan during this interval.
This mode has a camping beam which is sounded on every 6 seconds. The
scanning scheme is such that the field of view scan is interleaved with the
camping beam. The PIs/operators are welcome to adapt the mode for the
geometry for any conjunctions as they see fit (e.g., by changing the
camping beam) - footprint plots can be found at
http://www.southampton.ac.uk/~rcf2c13/footprints/ .

Note C: THEMISSCAN - This is a spacecraft working group request to support
all-sky camera operations during the new moon period over North America.
All radars should run themisscan during this interval. This mode has a
camping beam which is sounded on every 6 seconds. The scanning scheme is
such that the field of view scan is interleaved with the camping beam.
