Additional Information
The objective of this flight was to study the diurnal cycle of fires and their emission of smoke; to measure the properties of clouds embedded in various smoke concentrations with uniform meteorological conditions; and to provide data for testing of remote sensing of smoke over water.

The pilot reported various amounts of smoke and clouds, with more smoke to the north. The aircraft cycled through numerous perpendicular flight legs in a predetermined "box". The box crossed, in two places, a 5km wide river. The box was selected based on GOES observations of the fire belt and observations from the Bandeirante the day before.
