Additional Information

Take off at 1600 UTC. ER-2 landed at MSN at 2125 UTC.
ER-2 left Madison and set up for an underflight of ADEOS (1710 UTC overpass). Complete undercast during underflight of ADEOS.
Some thin cirrus (clear below) during 1719 to 1721 UTC. Lake Superior was total overcast except at the northern end where some lake
ice was observed (approximate time, 1905 UTC). Overcast conditions at Park Falls, Trout Lake and Lake Winnebago during overpass.
Figure-8s flown over AERI at Bondville with overpasses at 1954, 2001, 2007, and 2014 UTC. Pattern over Bondville was shortened due
to stratus clouds moving in from the northwest. Clear-sky conditions during Madison overpasses at 2045 and 2052 UTC. All ground
instrumentation operative during SSEC overpass.
Tracks 12 through 20 (midflight through end) are lost for ports 3 and 4 due to loss of LN2 pressure in the dewars.
