**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Sep 17 12:16:00 2003 Sep 17 12:16:00 --> You are now talking on #IDEAS3 Sep 17 12:16:15 Hi, everyone! Sep 17 13:17:01 --> anstett (~chatzilla@blizzard.atd.ucar.edu) has joined #IDEAS3 Sep 17 13:29:16 --> beaton (~8075543b@linus.atd.ucar.edu) has joined #IDEAS3 Sep 17 13:31:29 --> twohy (~c65c43bc@linus.atd.ucar.edu) has joined #IDEAS3 Sep 17 13:32:08 --> cockpit-c130 (~ads@ras51.ucar.edu) has joined #IDEAS3 Sep 17 13:32:11 ATIS: KBJC 171854Z 36010KT 70SM SCT080 BKN200 28/M03 A2970 Sep 17 13:32:47 engine start Sep 17 13:35:40 <-- beaton has quit (CGI:IRC 0.5.2) Sep 17 13:39:20 --> tschudi (~807554bb@linus.atd.ucar.edu) has joined #IDEAS3 Sep 17 13:40:43 <-- twohy has quit (CGI:IRC (EOF)) Sep 17 13:41:36 --> beaton (~beaton@sbmac.atd.ucar.edu) has joined #IDEAS3 Sep 17 13:41:43 --> twohy (~c65c43bc@linus.atd.ucar.edu) has joined #IDEAS3 Sep 17 13:42:45 <-- beaton has quit (Client exiting) Sep 17 13:44:07 cleared for takeoff Sep 17 13:45:12 take-off Sep 17 13:46:10 <-- tschudi has quit (CGI:IRC (EOF)) Sep 17 13:46:37 --> beaton (~beaton@sbmac.atd.ucar.edu) has joined #IDEAS3 Sep 17 13:49:10 --> daveR-c130 (~ads@ras51.ucar.edu) has joined #IDEAS3 Sep 17 13:50:03 CIndy - Errol is CVI operator. I don't know if he had a chance to check the noisy flow (which parameter?). Sep 17 13:51:35 --> Cowan (~Jcowan@dyn84-150.atd.ucar.edu) has joined #IDEAS3 Sep 17 13:51:55 cleared to climb to 22 kfeet Sep 17 13:54:32 Dave--it's cvf1 (which affects cvf3) but text data may not update enough to be able to see it in flight... Sep 17 13:55:12 cleared to level off at 12 k and 16 k for one minute Sep 17 14:01:07 Estimate top of BL at about 11kfeet Sep 17 14:01:09 --> jpfugal-c130 (~jpfugal@ras51.ucar.edu) has joined #IDEAS3 Sep 17 14:24:22 we are in tops of deep stratiform cloud associated with front Sep 17 14:25:00 plan is to setup a spiral from present altitude -24 C near Cheyenne Sep 17 14:25:19 followed by missed approach to sample below cloud air Sep 17 14:25:37 after that we can head south to see if we can find wave clouds there Sep 17 14:25:39 Dave, don't know if you got my earlier email but don't run cvf3cw much larger than 0.3 or you won't get the bulk of droplets... Sep 17 14:28:55 Cindy- yes, I got your message. Errol has it set at 0.3 now. We are doing NE-SW passes thru tops of clouds Sep 17 14:31:56 with 2Dc ~10/L, Nevz twc ~0.05 g/m3 Sep 17 14:32:21 Cindy- CVI is feeding rhtdma and cfdc at this time. Sep 17 14:34:09 starting spiral descent from -26 C at cloud top Sep 17 14:37:46 Dave: Way cool! It would be good to get out of cloud a bit, if you can, to make sure you have a good baseline value w/ everyone attached. Sep 17 14:43:59 CIndy- during descent, CVI ~ 0.3g/m3 peaks ~same as Nevz TWC. Sep 17 14:44:09 Lots of vertical structure. Sep 17 14:45:42 several layers of cloud. 20:45 now between layers and still descending. Sep 17 14:45:48 OK, bet water's primarily in drops between 8 and 40 microns... Sep 17 14:46:31 between layers, lower cloud below Sep 17 14:48:28 Kelvin Hemholtz waves off right wing Sep 17 14:51:26 now warmer than freezing, picking up liqid water cloud, cleared to 8k Sep 17 14:55:08 will spend a few minutes below cloud base to get air sample Sep 17 14:56:16 Cindy- nifty profile shows ice higher up then cloud-free layer and water cloud deck below. Sep 17 14:56:38 Here - i'll hold up the WINDS display for you. Sep 17 14:58:25 in about a minute we plan to climb toward Fort Collins, to get out of the frontal cloud and look for wave clouds Sep 17 15:03:15 thanks but I will have to imagine it! Try to get some straight and level passes too... Sep 17 15:20:50 in cloud layer at -22, mostly ice with an occasional hit of lw on rosemount Sep 17 15:32:15 --> Mike (~chatzilla@vpn9.ucar.edu) has joined #IDEAS3 Sep 17 15:33:14 <-- Mike has quit (Client exiting) Sep 17 15:35:20 --> daniels (~chatzilla@vpn9.ucar.edu) has joined #IDEAS3 Sep 17 15:43:27 <-- beaton has quit (Client exiting) Sep 17 15:44:28 Got to run--it's been fun--thanks Errol and Dave Sep 17 15:44:33 <-- twohy has quit (CGI:IRC) Sep 17 15:46:22 --> schanot (~8075543a@linus.atd.ucar.edu) has joined #IDEAS3 Sep 17 15:49:19 I see that you found a wave with no cloud. What is the plan now? Sep 17 15:49:41 --> dcollins (~80c26a58@linus.atd.ucar.edu) has joined #IDEAS3 Sep 17 15:50:46 the plan must be to ignore you, Allen :-) Sep 17 15:54:31 <-- Cowan has quit (ChatZilla 0.8.31 [Mozilla rv:1.4/20030624]) Sep 17 15:55:17 found warm wave cloud setting up midcloud pass at 11k Sep 17 16:04:58 <-- anstett has quit (Flood) Sep 17 16:05:02 --> anstett (~chatzilla@blizzard.atd.ucar.edu) has joined #IDEAS3 Sep 17 16:06:27 dropped down to 10k to make pass under last cloud Sep 17 16:06:42 rather confused wind pattern with lots of shear here Sep 17 16:07:13 note that cloud at 10k had 800 cm-3 from the fssp Sep 17 16:07:49 cloud at 11k had only 260 cm-3, maybe different layers Sep 17 16:13:13 Are you seeing much liquid water? Looks like the new King probe is not responding to much. Sep 17 16:26:55 we are orbiting in cloud for a cvi/tdma sample, there will be some straight and some turns Sep 17 16:27:08 liquid water is a few tenths Sep 17 16:27:27 Bill says the king probe that was changed is inop Sep 17 16:36:45 ALlen- for the last 20 minutes or so in warm cloud (+3C), NTWC = plwcf = plwcc1. Sep 17 16:36:59 and NLWC is about 40% lower. Sep 17 16:40:00 Dave: sounds consistant with previous flights. Sep 17 16:41:14 Intersesting cloud development in this system. After clouds form they move off to the NE. New stuff forms on a SW-NE line Sep 17 16:42:08 furhter to the south. Note that sfc front passed near takeoff. Gusting northerlies with dropping temps. Sep 17 16:45:11 going home Sep 17 16:45:11 <-- daniels has quit (Client exiting) Sep 17 16:47:30 --> daniels (~chatzilla@vpn9.ucar.edu) has joined #IDEAS3 Sep 17 16:51:57 Expect significant crosswind landing.
