Tom, Rich and I, along with Sumit, Daya, and Harish deployed three Cimel sunphotometers for the Calipso overpass. And the Pale Americans somehow lived through it. Left at 5:30 am returned at 7:20 pm. The day was almost as long as the flight over here. Clouds were not a problem for the south site until late in the day. I have no word yet as to how the grad students did with the hand held microtops.
My site was in the middle of a wheat field in a farming community and we were NEVER alone.
There were kids hanging around all day, even at 110 plus degrees. At one point we had 23 spectators.
Photo’s and more info will be added when I wake up tomorrow unless the boss calls me out of bed sooner.
Oh and did I mention it was HOT out there?
