| Comments: | " 2 Dial Remote Sensing Runs at the beginning day and at the end, o Started in Louisiana up through the Mississippi River Valley and ended in Southern Illinois just outside of Shawnee National o Altitude at 25KFT - Sampled approximately 20 fires (19 named but Letter J was a dual). Three new areas not sampled on previous missions. o Southern Illinois - New o Eastern Missouri - New o Arkansas - New o Mississippi o Louisiana - About half of the fires sampled had 2 passes but the majority of the files were small - There was an instrument issue with the LARGE instrument which prevented the dilution of the samples to aide in the collection. So they were limited in how long they could be in the smoke due to the saturation. It worked out however due to the fire sizes we saw. Overall Science was very happy with the data collected and it was truly a bonus flight which they could use to supplement the data already collected. The primary objective was the two remote sensing runs, one at the beginning and one at the end, to get a comparison of how it transports during the day. Those were met and were not impacted by the low flight portions. Spent approximately 3.5 hours down low fire searching and 3 hours high for the DIAL runs." | ||||
