Turning back to go through this nice Cumulus cloud once more. |
Today we flew into the same area as yesterday. The cloud was still there, and it was in fact a little different than the first time. We even saw ice crystals in the cloud! We probed it on a east-western and a north-southern leg, and found differences between all the waypoints. The "icing on the cake" of this flight was a cumulus cloud on the way home. There were no convective clouds in this area before yesterday, so this something new for VERDI, and of course we did a few turns inside it. The cumulus contained aggregate ice particles, and finally the flights became a little bumpy.
