Yep.

NOAA missions are now coming through properly again. I coded a little something to fix the messages in real time.

Flight level and surface aren't stacked. Dropsonde dropped at the wind shift at flight level, measured 971 mb with 35 knots of wind at the surface. (AF Plane). Also, they dropped a sonde on their way in that measured 63 knots at the surface (those winds were HIGHER than flight level)

Thanks Jeremy, have a good night all!

Winds are down to 22 knots at flight level, but still 50 knots on the surface per SFMR...wow.

[Evil Jeremy]

Recon has stopped sending HDOBs, just as they were doing a center pass. Hope everything is ok up there.

[Evil Jeremy]

The recon mission is over, they are heading back to base. Looks like there are five different missions tomorrow. I'm sure there's one starting within a couple hours!

When is today's next recon?

[HenkL]

Mission 12 (NOAA) starts at 20Z, mission 13 (AF) at 21Z.

[artist]

I had mentioned coming in to do recon later, but with the wind here, keep having momentaries, and being shut down, so if anyone else could take it I would appreciate it. I think it leaves at 4 today.

Gonzo is out there now, sampling, I believe.

AF300 returning to base? Déjà vu
