Additional Information
The objective of this mission was to observe
Boeing 757 contrails; and to determine
coupling between radiative and microphysical properties of clouds.
The DC-8 and B-757 flew an E-W racetrack in Oklahoma near the ARM
CART site. The tracks were 30 minutes long with a 20 mile separation.
Ther ER-2 flew the same track but in the opposite direction of
the DC-8. One flight track was flown in the solar plane at the
beginning of the mission. Most of the E-W track was cloud free.
There may have been short non-persitent contrails generated by
the 757 and DC-8. On the eastern side of the racetrack there was
some broken to solid low stratus clouds.
The NOAA-14 satellite made its overpass at 2025 UTC.
