First high flight with the Holoballoon
For the first time today we activated the temporary no fly zone (actually already yesterday before 9 in the morning). This allowed us to ascend with the balloon up to 700 meters above ground
Arrival and first flights of the measurement drone
Meteomatics delivered our measurement drone -- a Meteodrone equipped with an optical particle counter -- and we can start test flights. The measurement drone reports vertical profiles of temperature, relative humidity, wind (direction and speed), and now also aerosol concentration and their size distribution.
Radar has arrived
Today we setup and installed the MIRA-35 radar from METEK that will help us get information on the ice crystal that we will produce in the stratus clouds.
Moving to Eriswil
Today was the big moving day! Most devices have been moved to our field location, including our trailer that will house the aerosol measurements. Upon arrival we immediately began with the setup and by the evening the first measurements were already running
