21 cm Cosmology Workshop - Xuelei says it's unlikely there could be any visits from team members from China for an in-person meeting in the US in late summer b/c of the pandemic. Reza and Olivier most likely could attend.
Low-z forecasts paper - Olivier and Reza will send a link by email to the Overleaf document in a few days. Plan is to submit in mid-March. Comments are welcome in the document: define your own initials/color comment function in Overleaf. Latest version has some updates related to the WIYN survey cross-correlation. Some discussion about magnitude definitions (r vs R, for example).
Ground-pickup calculation - Albert will post extensive cdf file that he presented. Contributions of ground emission to visibilities has right amplitude to account for the `correlated noise'. In many cases phase matches well too. Works for some baselines, but not all. Doesn't work for 'cross-polar' baselines HV/VH, but note that since this effect is coming from far sidelobes, the polarizations are not orthogonal and a non-zero contribution is expected. Plan to continue discussion next week. Some questions:
