SF12_S01_ESARSI1_qc

Download Data from this drop (NetCDF)

Drop notes: Good drop. Launched after wings level following turn at SARSI. Largely clear conditions beneath, perhaps few scattered low clouds


SF12_S02_ESARSI2_qc

Download Data from this drop (NetCDF)

Drop notes: late winds acquired ~1


SF12_S03_ESARSI3_qc

Download Data from this drop (NetCDF)

Drop notes: Good drop. Launched around waypoint 3 along line extending east from SARSI. Largely clear below, I think


SF12_S04_NWshlwculn_qc

Download Data from this drop (NetCDF)

Drop notes: Good drop, launched just to NW of a loosely organized shallow cumulus line extending from SW-NE. Possibly advected in or close to line based on proximity of launch and wind direction


SF12_S05_WVoverpass_qc

Download Data from this drop (NetCDF)

Drop notes: Lost 401.10 MHz signal 6 seconds after launch, regained after 1 minute 45 seconds. Never seen anything like this before. Timed launch at worldview overpass. Mostly clear below with some scattered low cumulus


SF12_S06_nearconvcell_qc

Download Data from this drop (NetCDF)

Drop notes: Good drop. Launched near developing convective cell of interest, potentially captured detrainment near cloud top around 3 km


SF12_S07_nearconvcell2_qc

Download Data from this drop (NetCDF)

Drop notes: Very late winds obtained around 950mb. Looks to have hit cloud top of evolving convective cell around 3 km, as well as cloud layers below after passing thru a cloud-free region


SF12_S08_nearconvcell3_qc

Download Data from this drop (NetCDF)

Drop notes: Very late winds on this drop as well. Possible fast fall but I don't trust the GPS vertical speed since altitude was out of whack as soon as it came in (negative values). Launched near convective cell but not sure I hit any cloud until low levels


SF12_S09_Woutflow_qc

Download Data from this drop (NetCDF)

Drop notes: Very late winds. Launched behind (to west) of outflow boundary. Mostly clear with a few clouds below


SF12_S10_Eoutflow_qc

Download Data from this drop (NetCDF)

Drop notes: Very late winds. Dropped ahead (to East) of outflow boundary. Mostly clear below with some clouds, I think


SF12_S11_shlwcufld_qc

Download Data from this drop (NetCDF)

Drop notes: Good drop, launched entering upper level "figure 4" pattern over shallow cumulus field. Largely clear above and under except for extensive low-level cumulus layer
