SYNTHESIS FOR JUNE 07, 2000 - ABFM

Flight Summary (Anvil Day)
Case 1 (Times: 1815 - 1852)

Type of case	anvil
Complexity	complex
Convection	multiple cells
Electric field   kV/m	Min Em_m = 0.028 Max Em_m = 33.761 Mean Em_m = 2.659
Microphysics   #/Liter	Max CON_FSSP = 170124.734 Mean CON_FSSP = 3017.781 Max Tot_con_1DC = 214.134 Mean Tot_con_1DC = 15.703 Max Tot_con_2DC = 314.705 Mean Tot_con_2DC = 16.487 Max 2DC_100_400 = 120.614 Mean 2DC_100_400 = 7.743 Max 2DC_400_1000 = 89.151 Mean 2DC_400_1000 = 1.976 Max 2DC_GT_1000 = 1.524 Mean 2DC_GT_1000 = 0.092
Location	(x,y) ~ (35, -85)
Storm Motion	2.6 m/s to the east, 7.7 m/s to the south gives: 8.1m/s SE
Brief Description	A few brief moments through anvils. Mostly this is a convective flight.

This flight was terminated early because of a cabin pressure leak.







SYNTHESIS FOR JUNE 07, 2000 - ABFM

Investigator: None
[Not presented at a teleconference.]

The following summary is from the notes that Jim Dye and Eric Defer put together. Probably early in 2001 (before the May/June 2001 Field Campaign).

prepared by Jim Dye with help from Eric Defer

January --May 2001

 

E fields reported in the summaries below are based on the old matrix for determination of the three components of the field. The new matrix provided in April 2001 reduces the negative values of Ez as much as 40 to 60%. So the values reported herein may be too large. Positions are reported herein as (X,Y) coordinates relative to the WSR74-C radar.

Th total concentrations of particles measured by the 2D-C probe are denoted as N30 (ie. concentration of particles >30 microns which is heavily weighted towards smaller particles). N1 refers to the concentration of particles >1mm size, ie. the larger particles. Radar plots were available for only a few of the last summaries we prepared (June 4, 6, and 11). For other days some of the realtime radar plots were utilized but need to be verified.

 

June 7

This flight was terminated early because of cabin pressure leak. Before the return to base a few passes were made in decaying anvils from a storm near Tampa. E fields were weak.

No LDAR data available.
