Wednesday, August 9. Bruce Morley departed Tonopah this morning and will be gone until next week. Shane Mayor present to operate REAL.
Shane arrived at site this morning at around 9:30 AM and started scanning at 10:02 AM PDT. Cleaned exterior window of scanner prior to scanning.
Following eastern panorama taken at 9:50 AM PDT.
Some interesting clouds to the south at 11:29 AM PDT.
There appears to be some convective activity to the south.
Eastern panorama at 13:22 PDT:
Almost 2 PM and winds have increased from the south and we are seeing nice gust structures in the REAL images:
Here are some close ups of the vector fields we are calculating from our wavelet-based optical flow near the linear array. We calculate a vector at every pixel in the image, but for clarity in we can only plot a subset of the vectors.
Note: excellent gust structures and wind fields in the afternoon.
On the evening of August 9, around 10:20 PM, (that would be morning of August 10 in UTC, 5:20 UTC) I observed the following interesting aerosol feature move across the linear array from the west to the east. It will be interesting to compare the images with the tower data someday.
