The simplest method of creating Scheduling Blocks is by creating oneor more Science Goals. These must be created as part of an observingproposal, but may be skipped by privileged users. A Science Goalcaptures the basic scientific requirements of a project (e.g. desiredsensitivity, angular resolution, largest angular scale of source) andso does not require detailed knowledge of how ALMA works or how theobservations are actually run. The OT contains a number of tools thataid in the process of filling the necessary information and will warnthe user if invalid parameters have been entered.
If a proposal is awarded time, the project is retrieved from thearchive and the SBs are automatically generated from the ScienceGoals.
