R/V MIRAI

"congestus"

Fine and calm sea condition
Congestus clouds and cumulonimbus are often found (photo-1).

Observations:

All observations had been stopped until the evening.

Remarks:

Since the temperature exceeds 29C and the sunshine is so strong, we need sunglasses on the deck. To restart the observation, reseachers and technical staff had prepared again. Photo-2 was taken at the foremast.
