ATC and field mill-problems on plane.


stratiform with embedded convection  

The Citation took off at 2128 and flew to an area of weak, but organized
convection about 50 km to the SE of PAFB. This band of convection was
moving from the WSW to ENE at 15 to 20 m/s and had been producing
lightning for at least the last 2 hours. New, stronger cells tended to
form on the NW end of this band. The convection was stratiform in
character with several cells of embedded convection. The highest
reflectivity was at 4 km, decreasing at 7 and then again at 10 km. Radar
tops on the cells were 12 to 13 km.
The electric fields decayed from ~40 kV/m to <3 kV/m
