1 REVIEW OF THE PLOWS IOPS 24 IOPS during two years of sampling 3 IOPS were aircraft calibration or survey flights 21 IOPS dedicated to science missions Platform participation in 21 science IOPS MIPS 17 MAX 13 MISS 13 MISSOU 10 C
2 RANKING BASED ON PLOWS SCIENCE QUESTIONS 1) What are the predominant spatial patterns of organized precipitation substructures, such as bands and generating cells, in these quadrants and how do they evolve? 2) How do frontal scale systems above and within the boundary layer such as warm fronts,, cold fronts aloft, and occluded fronts relate to these precipitation substructures? 3) What are the thermodynamic and kinematic structures of these frontal systems including the distribution of moisture and vertical motion? 4) What instabilities and types of mesoscale forcing (e.g., moist CSI, moist frontogenesis, gravity waves, and elevated upright convection) control the generation and evolution of precipitation substructures? 5) How do microphysical processes vary between the different precipitation substructures and what are the consequences? 6) Is instability triggered in ice-saturated ascent critical in some of these instances and is it through the release of the latent heat of deposition that instabilities can persist?
3 RANKING FOR PLOWS IOPS 5 Excellent: Met most or all PLOWS objectives Top Priority 8 Very Good: Met many PLOWS objectives High Priority 5 Good Data support PLOWS objectives Medium Priority 3 Fair Data interesting, but not likely to satisfy PLOWS objectives 0 P: Poor Data met little if any PLOWS Objectives Low priority Very low priority
