For Friday, we have filed a plan to fly a 17.5 degree zonal swath north of large-scale convection located between 5N and the equator south of Hawaii. In the morning, we will also consider a plan to encircle the convection, if the evolving pattern supports this strategy. We will consult with the Boulder forecast team at 6:30am HT to finalize Friday\u2019s flight plan, so we can submit by 8:00am HT and take-off at 11:00am HT. We are required to take a hard down day no later than Sunday and will make a final decision on Friday whether this will be on Saturday or Sunday.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"graf-image\" src=\"http:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/el-nino-rapid-response\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2017\/01\/11o6XNyWYN-u0l8UxhFsUAg.jpeg\" \/>The NASA Global Hawk unmanned aircraft.
