SUMMARY: Clouds Block Large MCS iu LMA

TLE PREDICTION: 0.36 (0.9x0.4)

RESULTS: n/a, heard but could not see sprites

LESSONS: Two storms plus one in near FOV

PERSONNEL: Nelson, Fossum, Nordem

STEPS STATUS: STEPS over. LMA still runs.

YRFS OPERATION LOGS: Limited operations. Large MCS in and near LMA but local clouds and storms block view. Double check tapes for possible sprites peaking through clouds. Lyons in Boulder.

STEPS OPERATIONS: LMA and interferometer runs

KEY RESULTS : Might have a few peaking through clouds. Have not logged tapes.

Total TLEs from Yucca Ridge This Campaign: 1100+
