Mission Location:
Adelie-Clarie Gap 01
Mission Summary:
Mission: Adelie-Clarie Gap 01
Priority: Low
This mission is designed to fill gaps in bedrock topography along the Adelie and Clarie Coasts, on a 10 km grid. The gaps are between previous ICECAP surveys in the region.
A calm wind today in Hobart and a promising forecast for the Adelie and Clarie coasts let to this mission selection, our first low-priority mission of this campaign. An impressive headwind (at one point exceeding 80 kt) slowed our arrival slightly. The flight proceeded uneventfully under broken skies with occasional moderate turbulence. We completed the whole mission with 100% data collection and no issues reported. A ramp pass at 1,500 ft AGL was performed upon return to Hobart.
