[S-MODE] Plan of the Day

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

Hi everyone,

Here is the S-MODE Plan of the Day for Friday, October 28 (all times Pacific):

Updates:

  *   No more control center or operator meetings!
  *   All three aircraft flew a final science flight of the campaign over a still evolving frontal feature. The B200 has now flown 18 flights, the Otter has flown 13, and the G-III has flown 8.
  *   The Lagrangian floats are completing their “W Experiment” and have captured good vertical velocity data– early results show a favorable comparison of this proven method (Lagranigian floats) to DopperScatt estimates of vertical velocity .
  *   Bold Horizon has continued surveying the front.
  *   Wave Gliders will hold their formation for a few more days before moving east to follow the front.
  *   Go to https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsmode.whoi.edu%2Fsmode_netlink.kml&data=05%7C01%7Cs-mode%40espo.nasa.gov%7Ccbb56b4744184f5d981708dab8a39665%7C7005d45845be48ae8140d43da96dd17b%7C0%7C0%7C638025310002255389%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=KxLsVmNsN4WPTxgiIQg8mSbKulvD78RmUWhF08EzndE%3D&reserved=0<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsmode.whoi.edu%2Fsmode_netlink.kml&data=05%7C01%7Cs-mode%40espo.nasa.gov%7Ccbb56b4744184f5d981708dab8a39665%7C7005d45845be48ae8140d43da96dd17b%7C0%7C0%7C638025310002255389%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=KxLsVmNsN4WPTxgiIQg8mSbKulvD78RmUWhF08EzndE%3D&reserved=0> for a Google Earth view of the real time autonomous platform positions.

Friday, October 28

Aircraft schedule:

  *   No science - all aircraft in transit back to home base

Ship and in situ plan:

  *   Bold Horizon
     *   Recover floats
     *   Survey as possible
     *   Exit the frontal area to recover gliders - CTD cast(s) to 500m upon arrival near gliders before pick up.
  *   Wave Gliders continue surveying eastward
