Meteorology at the Central Facility
The DC-8 transited from Ames to Salina, KS., performing instrument tests inflight. Scattered cirrus was observed over Ames, were absent over Oregon and northern CA. with marine stratus observed elsewhere. While in restricted air space, the DC-8 produced non persistent contrails at altitudes ranging from 4kft to 35kft. Although, the contrails were too short lived to reenter, the DC-8 did make multiple crossings of its own exhaust plume.
