Instrument Operation |
No operation below 6 km possible |
Operation between 6 and 13.7 km (lt 6 km saturation of the radar receiver,gt 13.7 km no ground-echo) |
* only daylight Operation * avoid solar elevation<15° * operation time: 730-16 UTC |
* only daylight Operation * as high above clouds as possible * swath in 1.5km: - 0.9 km (spec Macs) - 2.1 km (2D cam) * swath in 5km: - 3.0 km (spec Macs) - 7.0 km (2D cam) |
* Reduced accuracy during dust and salt contamination by high Aerosol load during low Level flights * Reduced data Quality in precipitation and clouds (water/ice in pressure tube |
* no data 1.5 km below aircraft * limited number of 16-18 range gates (vert. res. 0.3/0.6/1.2 km) * to be addapted to science obj. * first obs 45 min after take-off * no operation< 5km (eye-safety) |
* obs after 15 min * no data 500 m below aircraft |

Flight Planning Requirements |
Preferably straight legs |
Min FL 200 (6 km) Max FL 450 (13.7 km) |
one clear sky flight one dropsonde per flight |
straight legs (min. 5 min) |
Straight legs |
dropsondes fom HALO beneficial for profiles of temperature and hor. wind vector |
