Daily Update – June 6

INSTRUMENT STATUS: All good. Lidar started to get a bit warm

WEATHER INFO: Clear sky expected today. NW to NE winds near midnight. Tmax expected to be ~24C.  An inversion is expected overnight. Tomorrow also should be clear. Winds will be from the N/NE during the day, again shifted to the NE overnight. Tmax ~ 32C.

PREVIOUS DAY OPS: Nothing big.

SITE PHOTOS: None

NEXT DAY OPS: Extra sondes will be launched at 3am, 9am, 3pm, and 9pm in a supersonde IOP to try and catch the transition of the winds. CU and ARL will fly tonight as well to catch any waves that develop with the NE flow. I will add some reflective insulation to the lidar at the 3am launch to try and keep it cooler in the heat.
