• 2003 Operational Changes

Operational changes made to SABER in 2003 are noted below:

• No operational changes were made to SABER during 2003



• 2003 Trends

Trended parameters are divided into three sections:

• Housekeeping - plotted parameters directly related to health and monitoring
• Responsivity - responsivity levels plotted for channels 1-10
• Scan Mirror - plot of scan mirror behavior for 2003



• Coverage

The plot below shows the dates of TIMED Yaws, and the latitudes between which SABER observed during those Yaws
