SF17_S01_charWLuzon_qc

Download Data from this drop (NetCDF)

Drop notes: Good drop. Characterizing environment off W coast of Luzon to E/NE of some offshore deep convection. Prominent dry layer ~18% RH between 550-600 mb not assoc w/ any inversion, very moist below 625 mb


SF17_S02_charNWLuzon_qc

Download Data from this drop (NetCDF)

Drop notes: Slightly late winds acquired around 1:20. Dropped to NW of Luzon in slightly less convectively active region with scattered shallow cumulus and a few middling-depth towers. overall drier environment, especially above 700 mb


SF17_S03_charNWLuzon2_qc

Download Data from this drop (NetCDF)

Drop notes: Good drop. Dropped to SW of a SW-NE shallow cloud street we passed along the spine of in both directions. Profile is qualitatively quite similar (and I think close in spatial location) to S02


SF17_S04_boxsprltop_qc

Download Data from this drop (NetCDF)

Drop notes: Good drop. Launched at top of box spiral in China Plume region, to E of SW-NE cloud street that was sampled


SF17_S05_PPtrsct1_qc

Download Data from this drop (NetCDF)

Drop notes: Late winds obtained after ~1:20. Launched along PP run/hi alt transect of cloud street sampled, 1st of 3


SF17_S06_PPtrsct2_qc

Download Data from this drop (NetCDF)

Drop notes: Late winds obtained after ~1:30. Launched along PP run/hi alt transect of cloud street sampled, 2nd of 3


SF17_S07_PPtrsct3_qc

Download Data from this drop (NetCDF)

Drop notes: Good drop. Launched along PP run/hi alt transect of cloud street sampled, 3rd of 3


SF17_S08_WVhdg_qc

Download Data from this drop (NetCDF)

Drop notes: Launched en route to WorldView satellite overpass. No launch detect, collected some data but then lost signal around 675 mb. Data was transmitting at a lower-than-usual frequency anyway


SF17_S09_nearWV_qc

Download Data from this drop (NetCDF)

Drop notes: Weird telemetry on this drop, did not transmit data from 4s post launch til 27s post launch, but was OK after that. Good winds when signal came back at 27s as well. Launched near WorldView overpass point


SF17_S10_NLuzon_qc

Download Data from this drop (NetCDF)

Drop notes: Good drop. Launched well to the North of Luzon, along what I think was an HSRL run to a bullseye? Over scattered/cloud-street cumulus


SF17_S11_NLuzon2_qc

Download Data from this drop (NetCDF)

Drop notes: Very late winds acquired ~5:20 post launch. Dropped in clear air region NE of S10 far North of Luzon


SF17_S12_SWcldstrt_qc

Download Data from this drop (NetCDF)

Drop notes: Late winds obtained around 3:20. Dropped on SW end of SW-NE cloud line, where some slightly more substantial shallow cu were present than on the NE end of the line.
