Poor Weather Proposals |
The "poor weather" (PW) queue is
a program to fill telescope time under very poor, but usable,
conditions. Time spent on these programs will not be charged to the PI
or the partner countries. These are queue programs only but are
distinct from the "regular" band 1 to band 3 queue. They will be
executed only when nothing in the regular queue is observable. In
all other respects (NGO and contact scientist
support, science archive data distribution) they are identical to other
Gemini programs.
PW proposals may be submitted at any time using the latest version of the Gemini Phase I Tool. Submit by choosing "Poor Weather" from the bottom menu in the partner list, entering the time requested, and then clicking "Submit Proposal". Only proposals submitted this way will be seen and reviewed by the relevant staff (the Gemini Directors and Heads of Science Operations). Once validated, approved and ranked, proposals will be prepared using the Phase II (Observing) Tool to be included and activated in the Observing DataBase (ODB) for their execution in the queue.
