During our visit to the field we have discovered a better placement of the instruments, that would allow us to scan more closely to where the paragliders fly. Moving a 270 kg instrument can be a hassle, luckily a friendly local helped us with his heavy machinery! Looking forward to the new scanning pattern.

On the 28th of April we drove and installed the LIDAR instruments at Voss, and came back to calibrate them on the 29th. Two very long working days, but the instruments are in place and operating.

The first temperature recording from the skydiving plane took place on the 24th of April, the iMet instrument recorded nine ascents in the duration of 5 hours between 9:00 UTC and 14:00 UTC. The lighter colours represent earlier flights. Both ascents and descents are shown in the figure below.
