Data collection status
This page describes the status of upcoming flights in the current (2014) flying season.
For an update on the operational status of the ARSF for data collection see this page.
Note: the actual flight date is dependent on operational restrictions and the presence of suitable weather conditions. All data are collected on a "best endeavours" basis.
Please contact Dr Gary Llewellyn (Science / operations coordinator) if you have any questions or concerns: gaew@… (01452 859945 or 07919 697851)
For status on data processing for flights that have been flown, see this page.
The coloured block indicate potential time periods where data may be collected while the numbers indicate the number of acquisitions required to fully support the project.
