S-MODE 04/25/23 Mission Daily Schedule
Here is the Plan of the Day for Tuesday, April 25:
Updates:
- The B200 and Twin Otter flew today with the goal of providing more information on an area with two eddies that are interacting with each other (“Eddy AB”). Eddy AB appears to be moving WSW about 10km per day. Aircraft data will help to confirm this.
- The Sally Ride and the Wave Gliders continue to survey this area. Recent tracks shown in Figure 2.
Aircraft plan and schedule:
- Hopefully, a better day for optical instruments. B200 and MASS continue to track the evolution of Eddy AB.
- Schedule for Tuesday, April 25:
- § NET 1030: G-III SF#7 takeoff
- § 1130: Preflight meeting for B200 SF#18
- § NET 1200: MASS TO SF#11 takeoff
- § NET 1300: B200 SF #18 takeoff
Ship and in situ plan:
