We had our first IOP (Intensive Operating Period) today with two ozonesonde launches and a research flight by the Scientific Aviation Mooney in addition to the ongoing measurements. The mobile van left the company of the Angels and descended into Sin City for two circuits. Tomorrow looks to be even hotter (100°F+) with a good chance of some additional transport from Southern California.
