The campaign was run in two intensive phases, IOP #1 (May 30 - June 13, 2018) and IOP #2 (July 16 - 30, 2018). The surface met systems and ceilometers were run continuously for the whole campaign; the wind profilers and soundings were only operated during the IOP phases. Quick look plots from the campaign (sorted by date) are available here (note that these include test data and periods where equipment was not fully operational).
