ttached is the proposed pattern for the EMC-tasked TDR mission for Monday 0400L (0800Z) takeoff from Lakeland.  Rotated Fig-4 pattern, with the IP on the S side, 90 nm legs, final point on the NW side.  Flight altitude 10,000ft.  Pattern may be updated for center position at time of mission. To the extent possible, keep straight legs heading to center.

Expendables: Load 10 sondes

Endpoint sondes will be determined by LPS in coordination with EMC and charged to HFIP. Likely 4 endpoint sondes in total. Center drops will be charged to NWS/NHC. Backups for center drops only, if requested by NHC.
