Mission Location: Hugoton, KS
CAMA (with DOW7) and CAMB (with DOW6) deployed on two storms in the Hugoton, KS area. Our first deployment was on a multicellular storm NW of Hugoton. A disorganized lowering was observed and documented with this storm. CAMA had the best view of the gust front and lowering.
CAMB also deployed south of Hugoton on the second storm that moved over Hugoton. CAMB and DOW6 both documented a gust front intersection that contained rotation that was observed in radar data and visually. The time of these observations was within the last half hour of operations for the day. Deployment information is as follows.
