[S-MODE] S-MODE Plan of the Day

[Czech, Erin P. (ARC-SGG)]

Plan of the Day for Monday, October 25 (all times Pacific):

Announcements:

Today, we received great news from the Oceanus. The mechanical issue that was previously reported has been isolated and looks repairable. At this point, we are hoping that the repairs will be completed by Tuesday, and that the cruise may continue as early as Wednesday. In addition, the Wave Glider repair is progressing nicely and all four WGs are expected to be operational by Monday night.

Monday, October 25

  *   Oceanus and WG repairs continue
  *   Saildrones in place for overflight and gradient measurement
  *   Afternoon flights for B200 and Twin Otter over filament/fronts
     *   ~1200 (weather dependent): Takeoff - TO Flt 2
     *   1300: Takeoff - B200 Flt 4 (crew brief at 1130)
  *   1400: Daily Control Center meeting

Tuesday (rain) and Wednesday (low wind) look bad for flights based on forecasts.
