Flight #5 to Ragged Point

Again, we made a second flight this afternoon starting around 13:40 local time. We went into 'our' area south east of the air port and flew a full profile up to 2600 m. From the lidar data we had seen that above 2000 m the aerosol concentration decreased, thus we wanted to measure there. To get also size resolved particle concentrations and CCNs we stayed there for a few scans. Afterwards we went down to cloud level (~1200 m) and tried to find any cloud. But there was not a single one in our area while around us there were beautiful trade wind cumulus cloud like on all these pictures... (see above)
Therefore, the pilots asked for permission to leave our area and the tower allowed us to fly north. So we followed the coastline and found several nice big cumulus clouds. We passed those clouds several times very close to Ragged Point and Deebles Point. This was the chance to make nice pictures of both sites from above.
One the left picture one can see the lighthouse of Ragged Point as well as the measurement tower.
After all another succesful flight, lets have a look into the data!
