Plan:
Working ER-2 and Citation on developing MCS over SGP-CF today. ER-2 take off at 16 UTC. Citation take off from Ponca at 1545 UTC.
Just prior to MCS precipitation arrival, ER-2 will initially work land surface NW to SE line. Initially, Citation will take aerosol measurements as ascending over NPOL. Next, ER-2 and Citation will work stacked E-W legs through MCS with Citation working stratiform precipitation from about 25,000' to 5,000'. ER-2 working same E-W leg but extending over convective region and just ahead.
Instruments:
C-SAPR is down. All other instruments up.
