Storms broke out in NCentral Kansas last night.  CI mission took place
over the TX/OK panhandle along the dry-line.  No downward looking
lidar (Falcon down, P-3 LEANDRE pointing sideways within the ABL).

Lots of stratus and cirrus today, strong southerly winds.  CI mission
in central Oklahoma along a cold front.  The Falcon will fly back and
forth across the front with the DLR lidar pointing down.  Potential
data for ABL studies.

Note that the King Air doppler radar and Eldora doppler radar on the
P-3 are both reporting that they clearly observe clear-air boundary
layer thermals, hence we may be able to use these data for ABL studies
as well.
