  1. The experiment was conducted with the heater array 1, where transmitters 3–12 were used for the pump and Transmitters 1 and 2 for the probe, with vertical incidence of the beams. The power was 80 kW/transmitter for both the pump and probe, using either O or X polarization. The Effective Radiated Power (ERP) and array beamwidth have been extrapolated for Run I where data was missing.
