24 | 6 | Redmine Admin | * Low total cloud coverage predicted for Jülich and Chilbolton for Thursday, 12 UTC |
25 | 6 | Redmine Admin | * Clouds at all altitude predicted near Icleland and Buoy K7 |
26 | 6 | Redmine Admin | * Wind speeds and wave heights are predicted to be low near Buoy 7 > plan for calibration circle near buoy K7 |
27 | 6 | Redmine Admin | * Saturday is a transition day until the next system arrives Sun/Mon (former tropical cyclone) |
28 | 13 | Redmine Admin | * Forecasts of this system are still very uncertain, but it could be candidate for the first NAWDEX mission |

34 | 14 | Redmine Admin | * In the planning meeting we discussed about the (WCB) ascent in the cut-off low that is predicted to be located over the Biscaya on Thursday. On Wed WCB inflow air was located in the Biscaya, unfortunately the ascent ceases on Thu. On Thu only some WCB outflow air would be observable near the cutoff low with an earlier ascent on the leading edge of the cut-off. We decided not to follow this idea. Additionally, we discussed about option of integrating a Calipso(A-Train) underflight. The calipso track leads from eastern Ireland to eastern Iceland at around 13:25 UTC. |
