Work Schedule

Updated schedule of current activities day by day

The HEFT-10 project's field phase is over. All projects objectives were successfully accomplished.

Install DOAS can in the AM on Friday 1/22.
Do the EMI check of the complete payload in the PM on Friday 1/22. Shooting for 1 PM.
If EMI is successful, we will taxt the GV around for another hour or so to test out initialization of INS. Complete FRR and 337. If EMI unsuccessful or instruments not ready the next chance for EMI is Monday 1/25.
On Saturday 1/23, in coordination with the C-130, we will fly TF-01, an approximately 2 hour test flight.
Depending on the outcome of TF01 we may be able to provide power and access on Sunday, if staff is available and if necessary.
Monday 1/25, Tuesday 1/26 and Wednesday 1/27 of next week are all candidates for 1-2 additional TF and for one hard down day for the RAF field crew (Boynton, McClain, Murphy, Kidd, Romashkin).
Thursday 1/28 - depart to Hawaii for a three day mission.
Friday - latest possible departure to Hawaii, only if instrumentation issues prevent departure on Thursday.
Saturday 1/30 or Sunday 1/31 at the latest - return from Hawaii.
Monday 1 February: FAA DAR on site to issue Experimental certificate, GV must be on site for this.

Global Coordination Center

The central point for information exchange and coordination during the field phase of HIPPO Global

The purpose of the Global Campaign Coordination and Communications Center is to serve as the main communications and coordination hub between the PIs and the aircraft in the field. It will resemble a small operations center. It is important to note that HIPPO will range across 8 time zones and the International Date Line during the 21 day deployment. This will require flexibility in schedules and support to meet the needs of the aircraft mission. The major task of the Coordination Center will be to accumulate and distribute up-to-date information on mission planning, operations, science and logistics, in particular:

Aircraft status
Instrumentation status, RAF, PI and user
Weather products and predicted conditions
Chemical model output products
Real-time in-flight contact and coordination, as required
General project logistics

A team of EOL staff and interested PIs will be in the Center to support all aspects of the HIPPO deployment. A group of people representing these components will gather on a daily basis in person or teleconference. These people will also be present in the Center or on call during aircraft operations to assist with any questions or issues from the aircraft. The representatives are:

Jim Moore - Global Operations Center Coordinator
Al Cooper - EOL Aircraft Scientific Lead
Karen Rosenloff, Eric Ray (NOAA/ESRL) - Project forecasters
Steve Wofsy (PI, will call in from remote locations when possible)
Pavel Romashkin (Aircraft Ops PM, will call in from remote locations when possible)
Vidal Salazar (Ground Ops PM, will call in from remote locations when possible)
Greg Stossmeister (Field Catalog)
Bob Olson or designee - Aircraft maintenance
Kurt Zrubek or designee - Instrumentation
Scotty McClain or designee - Pilot, help with flight planning, changes etc. if needed
Chris Webster or designee - SE
(Contact information for all science groups to report immediate instrument issues)

We plan to have a HIPPO Daily Status Update Meeting during the field phase beginning on 5 January 2009 through 28 January 2009. The timing of the meeting each day may be adjusted to allow attendance by the participants deployed with the aircraft. The purpose of the meeting is to ensure that all Center representatives and personnel deployed with the aircraft are aware of all happenings since the last meeting, and to share any updated information they may have received directly at the Center. In addition it is documented in the operations part of the Field Catalog.

The Daily Meeting will include:

Aircraft status
Instrumentation status
Weather and Chemistry brief
Plans and schedules for the next 24-48 hours
Logistics update

The status meeting will start with aircraft and instrumentation status. This will allow the technical staff to participate and leave, or stay if they choose to. The following discussion of the chemical and weather forecasts is intended to be brief but can be flexible as needed.

All information contained in the Daily Meeting will be posted to the HIPPO Field Catalog or on the RAF HIPPO Web site. The catalog will be updated at least once a day following this meeting and more often as changing conditions or status warrant. This will help ensure that anyone can see the status of HIPPO operations and facilities from anywhere, assuming they have access to the Internet. This includes all interested science groups, groups traveling to the main support stations (i.e. Anchorage, AK, Christchurch, NZ and San Jose, CR) with information such as aircraft delays, or particular instrument problems that may require bringing a critical spare into the field to the next support location.

Time Conversion Chart

Below is a simple chart that shows all of the time zones we will visit during the upcoming HIPPO deployment. It includes a column of the 24 UTC time with conversions to all local time zones. Note that we will effectively range across 7 time zones and the International Date Line. Shown in red is the 'midnight' for UTC and local midnight for all local time zones.

Deployment Staff Support

EOL and PI staff assignments are shown to support key facility and instrument systems during the field deployment

HIPPO Personnel Support and Emergency Response Procedures

The HIPPO project will be visiting 7 different locations over the 22 day deployment of the first phase. The project has made all preparations possible to deal with potential problems. The instrument suite on the GV includes back-up measurement systems for all key variables. There will be the ability to ship expendables and instrument parts to 3 main depots in Anchorage Alaska, Christchurch, NZ and San Jose, Costa Rica. In addition, the aircraft will be linked via satellite phone and chat as well as data relay to help identify, flag and resolve any problems with on board system.

However, there are two situations that require special attention and procedures. These occur when flight personnel become sick or injured and when key aircraft systems (e.g. the data system) malfunction and require experienced engineers and beyond those deployed on the mission. We must have an emergency response capability to address these two scenarios.

EOL and the HIPPO PIs have developed a list of key staff for all major facility and instrument systems that includes a:

primary support person (typically someone on the flight) responsible for instruments or facility
back-up support position (typically someone on the ground to analyze data and offer advice on adjustments or repairs),
A ‘hot spare- position. The individual in the hot spare position will be available to fly to the proper future port of call for the aircraft to assist in problem solving or to replace a crew member.
