Daily Summary for 2 November 2006
Quick links:
The deep low moved very slowly from James Bay to Northern Quebec during the day. The lake effect cloud producing machine really kicked in, smothering the entire Great Lakes region with clouds.
Flight SummaryThere are two potential A-Train overpasses in the next 24 hours: one near Trois-Rivieres, QB in the afternoon (~13:30 LT) and one near CARE early tomorrow morning (~2:30 LT). Pilot flight time restrictions allow us to fly only one of those, and the decision was made to go for the CARE overpass tomorrow morning.

GOES-12 IR (10.7 µm) brightness temperature from CIRA. The color scale begins at 0 °C with an increment of -10 °C between color changes.
GOES-12 experimental cloud phase from CIRA. Blue represents ice particles, red is liquid droplets above freezing and yellow represents supercooled liquid droplets. Gray areas are clear (no cloud) based on an IR cloud mask.
