AERI-bago Daily Summary
-----------------------
Date: 19 May 2002 CST (Sunday)
Location: Homestead Site (near Balko, Oklahoma), IHOP field campaign
Operator: Wayne Feltz
Weather Conditions:
Warm and very windy (gusts over 40 mph), high ~78, high clouds to west
from mountain thunderstorm activity, dust from surrounding fields
sometime suspended
Instrument Status:
AERI ran well all day, atmospheric pressure threshold should be reset to
a lower pressure since we are at a higher altitude than normal. Surface
station working well, GPS unit is not deployed yet. Will deploy tomorrow.
Science:
Boundary layer mission was conducted with several low flight legs from
the Wyoming King Air. P-3 and Falcon. Strong inversion at ~ 2000 m AGL.
Miscellaneous:
Bill Brown sent me radiosonde data to intercompare with AERI retrievals.
Everything else very quite at the site. Bago is running if fully
automated mode very successfully and the tie downs have really helped
stabilize the Bago in the strong winds.
