Commentary
At Barrow, the day started with low-level stratiform clouds with ice fog and small snowflakes in dendrites and hexagonal shapes. Relative humidity was around 80%, and visibility between 7-10 km. At 10:30am, ice crystal number number concentration was measured at 3 cubic centimeters, and aerosol number concentration at 70 cubic centimeters.
The NRC-Convair took off around 9:30am for a local flight, targeting an area about 10 nautical miles to the northwest of Nenana. Total flight time was a little less than 2.5 hours, using the last of the allotted research flight hours for the campaign. Shortly after landing back in Fairbanks, the aircraft began its journey home to Ottawa, Canada. Mission complete!
