Additional Information
The objective of this mission was to observe the effect of DC-8 aircraft exhaust and contrails on wave clouds.
Take-off was 1630 UTC. ER-2 followed DC-8 to SE Wyoming. No set patterns were flown. The ER-2
followed the DC-8 south, runs were flown behind the DC-8. The ER-2 pilot reported heavy turbulence at
altitude; during portions of the flight the plane and instruments were strongly shaken.
The pilot reported being over contrails and was
level at the NOAA-14 overpass at 2035 UTC. Also noted were well defined wave clouds near Boulder CO.
