2ETM watch

• The ETM watch relies on the SATURN-01 profiler being in operation (which is not the case of this time)

• When the profiler is not in operation, the SATURN-01 ADP backscatter might be useful to think about the timing of the ETM; however, the ETM watch does not take advantage of that sensor
