Na Lidar

Supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation.

Before 2019, the Na Lidar was operated on a campaign basis, typically 3-4 times per year, with 2-3 weeks per campaign. Beginning in 2019, the Lidar is being operated for about two weeks every month around the low moon period.

Raw photon count data are processed off-line and preliminary results are shown here. The data summary is in the following table listed for each operation period.

* CPS - Counts Per Shot, a measure of the signal level, hence the data quality. This is averaged from the median CPS values from each night.
