Take off at 1600 UTC. ER-2 landed at MSN at 2020 UTC.
ER-2 left Madison and flew NE to north of the Lake Huron, then southeastward over overcast conditions into central Ohio where there
were cloud-free snow and winter vegetation ground scenes. The ER-2 then flew banded cirrus scenes (with snowcover) toward
southern Lake Michigan . Then the ER-2 flew up to the northern end of Lake MI in overcast conditions. The ER-2 then returned to
Madison where it overflew SSEC in overcast conditions and then went into descent. Overpass of SSEC on 270 heading at 1927 UTC was overcast with variably thick mid to high cloud (sun disk visible thru clouds at times
from the ground). All ground instrumentation operative during SSEC overpass.
