Flight Summary (Non-Anvil Day)
Case 1 (Times: 1824 - 2006)

Type of case	disturbed weather
Complexity	complex
Convection	multiple cells
Electric field   kV/m	Min Em_m = 0.049 Max Em_m = 52.938 Mean Em_m = 5.726
Microphysics   #/Liter	Max CON_FSSP = 59061.137 Mean CON_FSSP = 2671.440 Max Tot_con_1DC = 110.079 Mean Tot_con_1DC = 24.154 Max Tot_con_2DC = 713.179 Mean Tot_con_2DC = 28.759 Max 2DC_100_400 = 176.406 Mean 2DC_100_400 = 11.681 Max 2DC_400_1000 = 20.487 Mean 2DC_400_1000 = 3.788 Max 2DC_GT_1000 = 2.045 Mean 2DC_GT_1000 = 0.273
Location	(x,y) ~ (0,30)
Storm Motion	8.9 m/s East, 4.8 m/s North gives 10.1 m/s NE
Brief Description	This started off as a complex, cumulus of multiple cells with lightning.

By the time the aircraft got there any reflectivity > 35dBZ was a good 75 km away and the radar screen is better described at "disturbed weather" (i.e. wide spread, sometimes pretty deep, "stuff").





SYNTHESIS FOR JUNE 23, 2001 - ABFM

Investigator: None
[Not presented at a teleconference.]

The following summary is from the notes that Jim Dye and Eric Defer put together. Probably in July 2001 (just after they got back).

23.06.01

research flight -18:24:15 to 20:07:13

Subtract 2 hours UND-system-time! One case: complex of cells, from 19:15 UTC good case for decaying debris/anvil; med – high priority
