  10. name: Erik van Meijgaarddate: 2003-05-08 06:24 UTC Situation and Forecast for Thursday May 8th A rather inactive cold front is approaching from Britain and is expected to cross the Netherlands the coming night. High clouds associated with the front are currently over the North Sea touching North Holland but have a tendency to move NE. A warm front regenerated from an earlier frontal zone over Central Europe is moving NNE across France. Scattered thin cirrus associated with this front is already over the south east of the Netherlands.

  19. Summary • We were very lucky with the weather (good choice …) • We had magnificant support from outside • Meteorologist (FP, De Bilt, Rotterdam) • Air trafic control (Schiphol and the Army) • Army for radiosonde launches, security, radiocar • We have a great set of measurements comparible to the ARM-site data sets that should be brought into an easily accessible data base

  20. Summary • To make the efforts worthwhile • We should do the research we planned ++ • The actual research has only started • Outlook • We are bound to meet again in the next few years
