[Airs-2] AIRS-2 RF06 over Montreal this morning

[jbj at atd.ucar.edu]

Hi all,

After an early 4 AM start, it was decided to send the C-130 to Mirabel on a
stratocumulus flight in a very cold northwesterly airflow. The forecasts
suggested a glaciated layer cloud, so this will provide a baseline for other
studies of mixed phase and wholly warm clouds.

The C-130 left at 6:45 due to delays caused by refueling services and due to
problems with SABL's computers.

The aircraft is expected to spend about 3 hours over Mirabel, where the
ground-based sensing systems are also operational. The aircraft is expected back
to Cleveland by 1:30 PM.
