NOTES:

  1. IOP start time is start of first balloon ascent - 15 MST for IOPs 1-8 &10; 21 MST for IOP 9.
  2. IOP stop time is end of PFT and SF6 tracer sampling (excluding 4 multi-day PFT samplers).
  3. Shakedown SF6 experiments occurred on IOP 1.
  4. Full SF6 experiments occurred on IOPs 2, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 10.
  5. Full PFT experiments occurred on IOPs 2, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 10.
  6. Two downtown PFTs released continuously from 00-06 MST.
  7. Two basin PFTs released continuously from 22-06 MST.
