  2. Schedule • Leave UK 4 January, first day of ops at RICO is 7 January • 9-10 flights of 5 hours duration • 2 four-hour flights on a day possible • Could fly every day; will bring 3 pilots

  3. Scientists & Crew • Mike Smith (1st part of Jan) • Jim McQuaid (last part of Jan) • Peter Jonas (Jan) • Phil Brown (Jan) • Mike Pickering (Jan) • Jason Lowenstein (PhD student- Jan) • Postdoc (Jan) • Alan Blyth (Dec 7-15, and 2 weeks in Jan) • 11-12 crew members

  4. Instrumentation All as listed in the ops plan except the following: • CDP-- miniature cloud droplet probe (DMT) • CSIRO giant nuclei impactor • SPEC 2D-S • NERC Airborne Thematic Mapper • FAGE Hox • Some possibly not on for RICO: • AMS, ADA,CVI, HVPS

  5. Updated Instrument List • Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (probably) • Airborne Droplet Analyzer (Phase-Doppler-- probably) • CCN static diffusion chamber: samples taken from a grab sample are processed at different supersaturations • CPI (probably) • CVI-- only instrument located downstream of its intake is PCASP • PCASP • Fast-FSSP • HVPS (maybe)

  6. Updated Instrument List, contin. • Johnson-Williams lwc • Nezverov lwc/twc • TWC (vapor + condensate; Lyman-alpha absorption) • Volatile Aerosol Concentration and Composition • 2DC and 2DP • ARIES interferometer-- on aircraft but may not be operated during RICO • AVAPS dropsonde • Broad-band (pyranometers & pyrgeometers) Radiometers • DEIMOS-- on aircraft but may not be operated for RICO • Navigation Weather radar

  7. Updated Instrument List, contin. • Fluorescence water vapor sensor • General Eastern hygrometer • Inertial Navigation Unit • Integrating Nephelometer • Particle Soot Absorption Photometer • Radar Altimeter • Rosemount temperatures (de-iced and not) • SATCOM-H: may be available for internet access (instant messaging) but is currently operational for phone/fax

  8. Updated Instrument List, contin. • TECO O3/SO2/NOx • Turbulence probe • Video camera, upward, downward, forward and rear-view (can record any 2 of 4 during flight) • Small ice detector (SID-1): also useful for distinguishing between spherical and non-spherical micron-size aerosol • DRI cloudscope: may provide some information on ultragiant hygroscopic aerosol particles
