ACE2, VODYANITSKIY Met Period 5

Days 192.0 to 196.0, 11-July to 15-July

Significant events at the ship during this period.

July 11 (192): Intercomparison with C130 (no clear column due to lack of aerosol layer aloft)

Meteorological Summary: The ship traveled north along the African coast, from 29 N to 37 N. There was no organized frontal passage during this period. Winds below 2000m were from the northeast on days 192-193.5, from the west on day 194 and from the northeast on day 195. Low and consistent boundary layer heights of 500 - 800m were present for the entire period. Back trajectories were from the north, and although a few brushed by coastal Portugal and Spain, they were all of a mostly marine origin.
