Mission:
ORACLES
Mission Summary:
Routine flight along 5E to 13S. High-altitude transit out, square spiral down at 13S, followed by 3 samples of the cloudy boundary layer on the way back north, the most northern one being at ~5S. some backtracking in the first 2 boundary layer modules. Strong aerosol layering south of 5S, fairly clean to the north. Little aerosol above the cloud. Used extra time at end to do a circuit around Sao Tome.
