ARESE II IOP

1 February 2000 - 5 April 2000

Lead Scientist: Robert Ellingson

Observatory: sgp, sgp

The ARESE II Experiment was coordinated with the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement - Unmanned Aerospace Vehicle (ARM-UAV) Program.

Activity Summary

Flight operations for the ARESE II experiment conducted 15 science flights during the period of February 27 through April 5. In all, we flew over 26 hours collecting data at altitude, with over 44 hours of total flight time. Data-taking time for ARESE clear sky missions was 8 hours 24 minutes. For cloudy sky missions, we collected data for 7 hours 43 minutes, plus an additional 1 hour 37 minutes for the shortened flights. In support of the Cloud IOP, we collected data for 8 hours 27 minutes.
