Additional Information
The objective of this mission was to
observe wave clouds over the front range and contrails during
overpass of the NOAA-14 satellite.
Take-off time was 1730 UTC and landing 2130 UTC. ER-2 flew to
approximately 41:22N 106:19W and arrived at approximately 1839
UTC. Mission was to overfly mountain wave clouds and contrails
in and out of the principal plane of the sun. Pilot was to visually
locate the clouds. Coorindate flight track with ground track of
the NOAA-14 satellite between 2031 and 2033 UTC. Track of satellite
was approximately 40:36:20N 107:18:00W; 41:19.5N 107:34.8N; 41:59:51
107:48:00W; 42:39:09 108:00:00.
The ER-2 aircraft flew parallel to NOAA-14 track while south of Denver.
The pilot reported the ER-2 flew over a long cirrus cloud
that extended for about 100 miles downwind of Larimer. This
cirrus appeared to be rolling and turbulent. Commercial aircraft
reported wave clouds. Could visually see roll clouds out side
cockpit window, put could not see them when over the clouds due
to cirrus above of the wave clouds. No persistant contrails, ER-2
overflew some non persistant contrails. Flew south of Denver to
get contrails and roll clouds. Flew satellite overpass while south
of Denver.
