Drop notes: Late winds acquired ~2:30 post-launch. Mostly clear beneath, some variations in lapse rate w/ shallow stable layers at 650 mb, 700-725 mb, 750 mb, and 775 mb, no clear cloud layers but RH spike to 95% around 925 mb

Drop notes: Good drop. Launched over relatively clear region near convection to left and ahead of plane at time of launch. Large shifts in wind thru profile, very dry above 750 mb but pretty moist below

Drop notes: Good drop. Further south than previous drop, but similar characteristics in terms of distinct moist and dry regions of profile. More prominent stable layer from ~675-750 mb

Drop notes: Very late winds acquired below 900 mb. Launched to E of isolated shallow convective system. Fairly dry for most of profile

Drop notes: Good drop (winds within reason, ~1:30). Launched over shallow convective cell in dry region. RH's still low, doesn't appear it directly hit the cloud (drying flanks of it perhaps)

Drop notes: Good drop. Launched just south of a deep convective cell over the southern edge of Cataduanes (drop over water). Top half of thermodynamic profile not dissimilar from previous, very dry above 750 mb with weak inversion from 725-750 mb. Cloud layer between 750 mb and 900 mb

Drop notes: Late winds acquired ~925 mb. Launched on Western flank of convective cell while passing through it. Cloud present shortly following drop, likely precipitation below as well
