Rough Itinerary

AM Flight

• upwind missed approach and/or sawtooth
  • used to define model boundary conditions
  • IFR or 17kft?
• racetrack (for 60 - 90 minutes?)
  • see NBL venting
  • collect flasks at different altitudes
  • fluxes?
  • MCR thermal
• rollercoaster
  • above BL
  • MCR vegetation
  • digicam
• upwind sawtooth
  • define upwind for Lagrangian calculation at STILT predicted location
    • get from chat?
    • when latest winds?
    • STILT prediction for 2pm/4pm

      PM Flight

• sawtooth at STILT predicted location and/or over tower
• flux runs
  • upwind sawtooth for model?
  • flask priorities?
• sawtooth for STILT at end if necessary
