WSI 1-minute data grabs are up and running. This operational mode will be used during daytime operation, with the normal 10-minute mode used at night. Porch tethersonde is hard down until new blimps can be delivered - both were found to be defective yesterday evening as a flight was being prepared. Barry Lesht is scheduled to arrive at the CF by noon on Wednesday to ready the digi-CORA for both dual sonde launching and ice replicator sonde launching. The SWS instrument is up and running.
Data appear good.
There will be no Water Vapor IOP operations this afternoon and evening due to unfavorable weather and wind conditions. Tentative Plans for Tomorrow Weather forecasting model output was not available in time for the 1pm weather briefing, so input relative to tomorrow was limited. Early sense indicates more of the same, with middle level and cirrus clouds, but convection later today, if it occurs, could modify. Forecasted weather conditions unfavorable for flight support.
