| Purpose of Flight: | Science | ||||
| Comments: | Very successful science flight that included 7 vertical profile maneuvers even with a lot of clouds on the flight path. The 6th vertical profile coincided with the Eureka TCCON site near 80 deg N latitude. We had some challenges getting clearance to do vertical profiling in the North Atlantic. The aircraft and science instruments landed at BGSF in good shape. | ||||
