c_cloudFlight plan#
The flight is planned to take off at 2024-08-26 12:36:00+00:00 UTC and land at 2024-08-26 16:00:00+00:00 UTC.
Flight track designed for to sample conditions ahead of the African Easterly Wave Trough
Following flight will follow same track and sample conditions behind the African Easterly Wave Trough (the trough passes by in-between flights)
Take off moved to 12:36 UTC due to airport opening at 12:30 UTC.
NOTE: flight plan was modified in-flight to sample a growing convective cell, or a “golden-case”
