S-MODE 04/25/23 Mission Daily Schedule

Here is the Plan of the Day for Tuesday, April 25:
 
Updates:

  • The B200 and Twin Otter flew today with the goal of providing more information on an area with two eddies that are interacting with each other (“Eddy AB”). Eddy AB appears to be moving WSW about 10km per day. Aircraft data will help to confirm this.
  • The Sally Ride and the Wave Gliders continue to survey this area. Recent tracks shown in Figure 2.
