The DC-8 and Proteus flew coordinated flights over the CF with operations between ~1630 and ~2230 CST. The Proteus flew a slow acent followed by a mapping pattern over the CF for three hours and a slow descent. The DC-8 flew a one hour mission for COAST followed by a spiral up centered on the CF, level leg bowties at 5 flight levels between 41 and 25 kft, and a spiral down over the CF. Coincident observations from the CART site were made.

Weather:
Light cirrus at 25kft at mid-morning with clearing into evening. Severe clear and stable conditions during the flights.

Instrument	Status/Comments
CART site:
CART Raman Lidar	Normal operations. Using fixed calibration (determined from WVIOP2000 time frame) throughout AFWEX.
GSFC Raman Lidar	Sub-optimal but Operational. YAG service visit today. Operated from 1800 to 2200 CST.
MPI DIAL	Not operational. Waiting on parts.
WFF Chilled Mirror Sondes	Normal Operations. Launches at 1715 and 2015 CST. 20 units left. Working issue of slow ascent rates.
Other	University of Wisconsin personel made land surface temperature and emissivity measurements in the CART site vicinity throughout the day and during the aircraft overflights.
DC-8:
LASE	Normal operation.
DLH	Normal operation.
Cryo frost-point/chilled-mirror	Normal operation.
SHIS	Normal operation.
COAST	Normal operation.
AeroSapient	Normal operation.
Proteus:
NAST-I	Normal operation.
NAST-M	Operated, but no science data recovered.
FIRSC	Had detectors working and collected first science data.
