Additional Information
The objective of this flight was to
coordinate the ER-2 and C-131A airraft in the region of the cerrado
northwest of Brasilia, in the direction of Porto Nacional.
Following the coordination, and mapping of the bi-directional reflectance function
of the cerrado, the ER-2 flew to Alta Floresta, in the vicinity of more
numerous fires and smoke. The ER-2 aircraft also overflew a cloudy sunphotometer
site at Alta Floresta before returning home after sunset.
The ER-2 pilot observed a large fire, smoke, and capping cumulonimbus
at 19:28 GMT. Data from the ER-2 showed the fire temperature exceeded 500K
and generated a great deal of smoke which entered the cloud. The cloud
top temperature was around -3C.
