  2. 2010 HRD Field Program Updates • Continuation of IFEX objectives • ~700 hours total for all aircraft • N42RF (P-3) will be available by June 1, N43RF available August 1, N49RF (G-IV) available early June • Crews available for two-per-day missions starting early July (Tampa and deployments) • Near completion of Hurricane Field Program Plan

  3. Focus areas for 2010 IFEX goal 3: Improving understanding IFEX goal 1: Collecting observations for model initialization/evaluation • Doppler radar • Synoptic surveillance • HWRFx/HFIP real-time runs • Tropical Cyclogenesis Experiment • Rapid Intensity Change Experiment • Saharan Air Layer Experiment • TC-Ocean Interaction Experiment • Tropical Cyclone Landfall and Inland Decay Experiment • Arc Cloud Module • Hurricane Boundary Layer Entrainment Flux Module IFEX goal 2: Developing and refining measurement technologies • HIRAD • Doppler Wind Lidar • Ocean winds/AWRAP • Coyote low-level UAS • Global Hawk high-level UAS
