September 3-4, 2009

Weather:  Sky mostly clear in the morning.  A few small passing clouds, but very bright.  Seas calm, swell about 1 meter with a few white caps.  Wind about 19 knots.  Weather similar throughout the morning with occasional passing clouds.  Waves increasing.  By mid-day skies still mostly clear, but swell 1-2 meters with lots of white caps.  During afternoon the winds started dying down and the white caps decreasing.  By mid-afternoon sky still mostly clear and winds down to about 15 knots.

Instrumentation used:  Skycam was run from 23:00 GMT – 03:40 GMT (Sept. 4, 2009).  Images were taken in cycles that consisted of 1 image with each spectral filter and corresponding polarization filter and then the cycle was looped 3 times.  Cycles took 10 minutes and resulted in 96 images.  Cycles were taken every 15 minutes for the most part during sampling times.  Note that the sun accultor was replaced on the skycam with a modified one as the previous one snapped off into the wind.  Tableservo not running.

Microtops sunphotometers were also taken at 22:30, 23:00, 23:15, 23:47, 0:00, 0:15, 0:30, 0:45, 1:00, 1:15, 1:30, 1:45, 2:00, 2:15, 2:45, and 3:30 GMT (Sept. 4, 2009).
