[S-MODE] Plan of the Day

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

Hi everyone,

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://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwhoi-edu.zoom.us%2Fj%2F97665299809&data=05%7C01%7Cs-mode%40espo.nasa.gov%7C26bcd12e1c16436735a808db36391022%7C7005d45845be48ae8140d43da96dd17b%7C0%7C0%7C638163390937578282%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=u1RUg214F6YrjcejyyQA0x9v4JnyxyytlQ6WD984lbU%3D&reserved=0<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwhoi-edu.zoom.us%2Fj%2F97665299809&data=05%7C01%7Cs-mode%40espo.nasa.gov%7C26bcd12e1c16436735a808db36391022%7C7005d45845be48ae8140d43da96dd17b%7C0%7C0%7C638163390937578282%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=u1RUg214F6YrjcejyyQA0x9v4JnyxyytlQ6WD984lbU%3D&reserved=0>

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.
