| Comments: | ATom-3 Science Flight RF11 LPLA-KBGR. This flight replaced the planned LPLA-BGTL flight that was cancelled due to forecast bad weather at Thule, Greenland. The flight included 9 vertical profile maneuvers (VPMs) spanning the North Atlantic, Greenland, Labrador Sea, Eastern Canada, and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. An en-route eddy flux maneuver was done on the 2nd dip at 500 ft, 100 ft, and 3000 ft AGL. Flying across the North Atlantic Tracks (NATs), ATC limited the tops of the VPS to 25kft or 23kft. The science instruments and aircraft did well on this very successful mission. | ||||
