000623 -- Case Summary Flight Times: 1636 - 1911 - Flight 1 Flight Times: 2050 - 2115 - Flight 2 Attenuation times for 000623 Flt 1: 1718-1722 and 1742-1745 The storm complex investigated during Flight 1 became a massive stratiform complex. System formed just to the NW of and over KSC from merger of two highly electrified storms, becoming a major complex over E central Florida by 1800. The system was moving east and had no distinct anvil. Case 1: (Times: 1654 - 1718) The was out in front of an electrically active part of the storm. Case 2: (Times: 1718 - 1744) This is debris. The core was electrically active at 1707. From 1720 to 1730 the A/C investigated a small cell to the N of the main complex. At first the fields were strong and even some LDAR flashes in the cell, but after ~1731 E fields were weak. Case 3: (Times: 1748 - 1752) This is debris, although there was never really a strong core here. Case 4: (Times: 1756 - 1824) This is approximately the same position as Case 1. Given the Closure of PAFB by the storm complex forced landing at Vero Beach. Flight 2 was only a short Ferry Flight back from Vero Beach. Some of the Data Systems were not turned on.
