The C-130 and the P-3 flew a joint ITCZ mission. This mission is the first with a change in C-130 pattern from the published Operations Plan. Instead of flying at 95 W, the C-130 flew legs about 30 km west of the P-3 legs, coordinated in longitude within a few minutes. The P-3 pattern was the same as that in mission 1. The first C-130 leg was at 200 m, the second at 1500 m, the third at 2500 m, the fourth at 4000 m. In addition, on the P-3 east-west legs, the C-130 made soundings from the surface to about 6000 m. The coordination worked well. The day was convectively very active, with a strong SW jet at the surface. The winds at 6000 ft (P-3 flight level) were out of the west. Several good possibilities for joint radar/cloud physics case studies occurred on the last leg in which the C-130 was at 4000 m. All systems worked well except that the P-3 tail radar had occasional fits.
