... Because of the potential impact of poor weather on 3mm observations, the ATCA has used a "swap" system of flexible scheduling for these observations. ... This was both to encourage more proposals that could be used as swaps and to reduce the burden of swapping (the swap system tends to discriminate against the centimetre observer). ... For example Directors Time could be used for 3mm proposals if there was no bad weather (this would not be possible if a centimetre swap were mandated). ...
