The sky show a lot of aerosols in the image and the sky in continuing to brighten. Stopping Kcor until conditions improve. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Wed Mar 31 01:16:40 GMT 2021 The day started off relatively clear but there was high altitude Cirrus clouds sporadically across the sky. I tried to start Kcor but it became obvious pretty quickly that the amount of aerosols in the sky were high and the sky was too bright. Conditions on the volcano today were poor for collecting data. Only a very small amount of data was taken this morning but it was very bright outside. ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: mcotter
