Ocean Interactions 2005 Cruise: January 23, 2005 (Sunday)Daily Journal Entries : Judy | Paquita SJ Daily Summary 1/23 instrumentation: all good Suppressed convective conditions, but enough vertical development to sustain some precipitation. Light precipitation was often present around the boat, sometimes so light it was detectable on the noaak radar but not obvious to the eye. Cloud fraction decreased during the day but very light precip was observed at all hours. The noaak radar and the lidar began running by 10Z. Sea swell was low, we could alter our boat direction without increasing the rocking of the boat, and shifted direction at 1118Z to approximately match cloud-level winds. The aircraft UKMet & KingAir worked elsewhere, some coincidence with the C130 on its upwind circles. Radar turned off at 1930, lidar at 20Z.
