Special Time notes:

Note A: 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 B: 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.
