Here is the S-MODE Plan of the Day for Thursday, April 6 (all times Pacific).
 
Updates:

• The B200 arrived at Moffett Field today at ~1530. The team is aiming for an 0800 takeoff tomorrow to log their first science flight of the campaign.
• Weather for the remainder of the week is marginal for a B200 science flight, due to light winds and cloud cover. If the skies lift, MOSES SST data collection is a possibility, even if DopplerScatt data is poor.

 Aircraft schedule:

• 0630:  Preflight meeting for B200 SF#1
• 0800:  B200 SF#1 takeoff

 Meeting schedule:

• 1030: Planning Discussion (The purpose of this meeting is to discuss science and operational inputs for use in the Control Center meeting later in the day) - https://whoi-edu.zoom.us/j/97665299809
• 1430: Control Center - https://whoi-edu.zoom.us/j/93936738852

Ship and in situ plan:

• The seven Wave Gliders that are deployed will work to sample the northern SST front (near the area marked “Target” in the SST map below).
• The Sally Ride science party is en route to San Diego with ship mobilization beginning on April 7.
