Documentation was accomplished by WB-57F aircraft, by satellite, by radar, and by lidar. A thin cloud layer was present at about 8.5 km with ice water content about 0.003 gm/cu m, and one at 5.5 km had about 0.002 gm/cu m. Low-level cumulus clouds were observed below 3 km on two of the trajectories. Data from all sources are presented, and operational problems of the weather documentation plan are discussed. (Author) 收起
