The Rayleigh lidar operates on a routine basis taking approximately 5-8 hours of continuous data per week. In addition a number of two week campaigns are organized for the winter and summer. The Rayleigh lidar is operated and maintained by the site crew throughout the year. Intensive two week campaigns are augmented with SRI, Menlo Park support. We have also benefited from a number of summer graduate students who have experienced Greenland and learned about running a sensitive instrument in a remote location.  The students travel and room and board were covered by the project.  These students are:  Andrew Gerrard (1996), Penn State University; Jobe (1998), Penn State University, Aimee Merkel, University of Colorado(2000), Keith Soldavin (2000), Penn State University.  The dates in parenthesis is the year they participated in the program.
