Daily Report for Sat 6 June 2009
MISS at Marshall for ASP mini-field project
Fine, mainly sunny with light winds. Around mid-day on some mid-level clouds and widely scattered low level CU. Also some high level cirrus. Less haze than yesterday. Brief brisk westerly breeze around 2330Z.
Four soundings 15Z, 18Z, 21Z and 0Z :
15Z was relaunched as first sonde string separated from RS92 unit.
21Z 7C temperature bias (high) on pre-launch checks. String didn't fully unwind so winds may be a little noisy.
0Z Lost GPS at launch. It was tracked visually to about 350mb flying in an almost striaght line at approx 60 deg azi and 60 deg elevation.
18Z and 21Z showed some evidense of gravity wave breaking in winds at upper levels.
Wind profiler mainly only seeing boundary layer scatter. Ceilometer seeing clouds around 4 - 5 km most of afternoon.

Daily Report from MISS at Marshall in support of ASP mini-project
Fri June 5, 2009
Wave clouds over Bouler this morning, with increasing mid-level clouds during the day. Light southerly and easterly winds. Quite hazy. Late afternoon a thunderstorm with lots of lightning and oaccaionally heavy rain passed over.
Four soundings were launched : 1500 1730, 2030, 2330 UTC. All soundings went well with ASP students in attendance. Boundary layer appeared to be low (400 - 600m) in all cases. 1730 and 2030 showed evidence of gravity wave breaking at upper levels (above 100 mb). 2330 sonde was launched as the thunder storm approched and appeared to travel along with the storm to the NE.
Wind profiler worked well although not seeing much above the low boundary layer. During the early part of the storm there were cases of unusally clear separation of precip and clear-air signals in the Doppler spectra.
Surface station showed westerlies last night, not seen in the profiler so must have been low level, may be drainage flow out of Eldorado canyon.
