No flight today

Due to low cloud cover here and over the ice on the Beaufort Sea, our first science flight will not be today. The first few flights will be with the towed EM Bird, which is lowered down to a few meters above the sea ice. That is a tricky manoevre for the pilots, and they need good visibility. Low clouds are a dealbreaker for that kind of mission. Instead, we work on a few more technical issues of our instrumentation.
