 ===== Measurement modes =====
-  * Vertically pointing observations with integration times up to 1 seconds.
+  * Vertically pointing observations with integration times up to 1 seconds, variable chirp-tables possible (Doppler resolution, range resolution)
-  * Full azimuth/elevation scanning capability for horizontal variability of clouds as well as 3D wind vectors in clouds
 ===== JOYCE-CF Standard Operation Procedures =====
-  * Standard measurement mode is vertically pointing, 2 second integration time
+  * Standard measurement mode is vertically pointing, 5 seconds integration time
-  * Every 30 minutes one azimuth scan at 83° elevation angle with 6° azimuth resolution (duration ~2 minutes) for horizontal wind within clouds and the boundary layer (if sufficient insects are present)
