HONOLULU, HAWAII\u200a\u2014\u200aThe NOAA Gulfstream IV lifted off the deck from Honolulu International Airport at 11:00 AM local time for its first research flight of the El Ni\u00f1o Rapid Response Field Campaign. A flat tire on the jet delayed takeoff by an hour. Kudos to Angel Negron and the rest of the crew for making the rubber swap happen so quickly!

Flight preparations in Honolulu<\/p><\/div>\n

In this first flight, we\u2019ll have 30 dropsondes in the air\u200a\u2014\u200awe drop these small parachuted devices from 41,000+ feet high, and they collect data as they plummet down toward the ocean below. Within 30 minutes of splash, we should have final, quality-controlled data from the dropsondes\u200a\u2014\u200atemperature, humidity, wind speed\/direction, and atmospheric pressure. The G-IV is scheduled to land this evening at 6:30 PM.<\/p>\n
