010605 -- Case Summary 
Flight Times: 1759 - 2154

No attenuation of 74C radar for this case.


/*********** it was decided these were NOT anvils *********/

010605
	1  maritime debris final decay		
	2  very active maritime, offshore storm	
	3  end of debris decay				
	4  axial pass, pseudo-anvil active storm	

The first case the Citation flew between 18:22 to 18:45 UTC. It was an
anvil of a maritime cell in its late stages of decay, almost not visible
on radar. Weak E field was measured in the beginning then no enhanced
field.

The second case was an attached anvil of active, intensifying cells with
strong variable fields at the time the Citation flew (19:03 to 19:27
UTC, mostly the edge of the anvil). Left this case because of intense
lightning activity.
	Although the core is no longer at the position of the aircraft by
looking at the animation it can be seen that the core was in this
position.

The third case 
	A reverse search from the aircraft position shows that the core was
there in the recent past.

The Fourth 
	Again, a core was at this location in the recent past.
This is a (relatively) stationary convetive system. The cores decay
practically in place and that is what the aircraft sampled.

Then from 21:30 to 21:45 UTC the Citation flew over the KSC for
measuring E field changes to be compared with the surface network.

The plane took off around 1415. A maritime storm put out an anvil east
of KSC. We sampled the remnant then flew several anvils from active and
dying storms. On the way back to base, the plane made passes over the
KSC FM network with a distant storm making lightning -- this will aid in
calibrating the airborne FMs. The plane landed about 1800.

Description: Four clouds were sampled that day. All storms except storm
#3 exhibited strong electric field.
Storm #1...
Storm #2 was a maritime case. The storm was located about 150 km away
from the 74C radar in a south-east direction. Passes were made at the
western side of the storm. Strong electric field was sensed (to 50
kV/m). The storm was still electrically active according to the
measurements of the lightning sensors.
Storm #3 was located about 50 km away from the 74C radar in a south-west
direction. The electric field was very weak but noisy.
Storm #4 was loacted west of KSC. The first pass was performed in the
anvil in the direction of the core, while second pass was done in the
opposite direction. The electric field was sensed increasing in
direction to the core.
