Another nice cloud flight

Today was another nice chance for chasing trade wind cumulus clouds. Take-off was around 9:30 local. We went to the open sea near Ragged Point and started a full profile from 80 m to 2400 m above sea level. Afterwards we stayed at this highest level and and flew a 10-min long horizontal leg. Many cumulus clouds were below us but many of them had higher cloud tops. Nice clouds were all around us, thus it was not difficult to spent the rest of the flight with cloud measurements. We passed various cumulus clouds in different heights which was really impressive, because all these cauliflower heads around were still growing. It was also interesting to see how fuzzy most of the cloud edges were and how quickly they were changed.
