Weather Summary

After a week of nearly solid cloud cover over Southern Ontario, the storm system that brought heavy rains and damaging wind to New England finally moved out off the coast of Labrador. The advancing ridge of high pressure brought clear skies to Southern Ontario on the last day before the start of CLEX/C3VP.

 

Flight Summary

The final test flight was planned for today. With no clouds over the target region, the flight was planned simply to see how close the aircraft could get to the time and location of the CloudSat overpass.
