All radars should run a 1-min normalscan (no frequency switching) during this interval. Note B: THEMISSCAN - This time covers the 'Pulsating Aurora' request (Hosokawa). 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. Note C: RBSPSCAN - This time covers the 'ULF Wave' request (Shi). All radars should run rbspscan during this interval. This mode consists of a full scan of at least 16 beams with an interleaved mini-scan of 3 beams, with a scan time of 2-min.
