| Comments: | FInal DAWN PWE research flight in Greenland was conducted today to further investigate the wind profiles in ther transition regime from the icecap well into the terrain areas coastward from the ice cap. This zigzag pattern flown at 8500 ft MSL covered terrain and ice from sea level up to approximately 6000 ft MSL. Instrument and aircraft still operating normally with good data collected. Next flights are the commmercial return for most of the team and the aircraft transit back to KLFI beginning tomorrow. | ||||
