So still only 1 mission in counting…
However, Monday is looking the best we have seen this season for severe weather. We may operate tomorrow depending if all the ingredients line up to organize convection or not. Monday we are almost certain we will operate; however, currently it is in such a broad area that hopefully can narrow down to a more specific target area.
For today…we did a little sight seeing! The students of the LSC/NCAR Photogrammetry headed to Palo Dura, the second largest canyon in the United States! We hiked up to the most prominent feature called the lighthouse. It was an amazing sight that many of the VORTEX crew took advantage of on this down day seeing. Below you can see images of our hike! The layers of sediment date all the way back through the Jurassic Period to last tuesday! Hopefully we will have more storm related information to give you shortly…
You can see all the way to the Jurassic period!
We hiked up there!
