Mission:
ORACLES
Mission Summary:
This was a coastal flight, going farther north (to 8 S) than any other ORACLES 2016 flight. We went along 11 E to sample an intense young plume forecast by WRF. We did find the plume, and this flight will be very useful for aerosol properties in the FT. The MBL was complicated by the presence of 2 or 3 layers of cloud, and we encountered intermediate-level clouds high in the plume. These complicate the radiation measurements as well as the FT/MBL exchange.
