Pstn-052, a new document discussion rolling cadence strategy

Hi all,

Just here to point out a new document that describes the rolling cadence survey strategy simulations: https://pstn-052.lsst.io/

The goal is to make it clear what rolling cadence is, and why you may or may not see much improvement in your science metrics with rolling cadence.

Some highlights:

  • Our rolling strategy results in only 1-3 seasons of higher cadence observations
  • While rolling can increase the observing cadence, it does not change observing season lengths
  • Using rolling cadence means annual data releases will be non-uniform

Feel free to make comments or request additions/changes.
