Here is this morning's 500 mb chart:
Shane feeling ill today. Bruce noticed that the number of lidar profiles in each PPI scan was not consistent around 170 at between 1300 PDT (2000 UTC) and 1500 PDT. The number of shots were also slowly decreasing. Bruce stopped data collection, exited LabVIEW and restarted data collection with a 5 minute laser warmup. The issue with the number of profiles in each PPI scan was resolved. The housekeeping plot below shows the shots per PPI scan for the time period of interest. At this time the reason for the decline in the number of shots in each scan is unknown.
