PREVIOUS DAY OPS: Supersonde IOP. Balloons were launched to capture the morning transition at 9pm, 3am and 9am. The 3am launch was launched alongside the CU TLS. ND launched additional sondes as well. Two were at the George site (7UTC and 11UTC), one was from the other ridge (~840UTC). There should be a good comparison dataset between the CU 11UTC launch and the regular 11UTC.
SITE PHOTOS: None
NEXT DAY OPS: None. Off day for us 🙂
