Mission Summary for April 19, 2004

The NASA WB57F flew a subtropical cirrus profiling mission over the ARM CART site. A subtropical jet stream cirrus plume extended over the ARM site in a southwesterly flow and propagated eastward during the course of the mission. The WB57F was able to sample and characterize a wide range of cirrus conditions. Flight take off at 16:54 UTC with landing at 21:39 UTC. Full Summary
