Beginning approximately at 17:50:00 UT. The activity is difficult to see in the Kcor NRGF images, unless specifically looking for it, but the Kcor Diff image clearly shows a Jet or narrow burst taking place. Increasing the frame speed of the Kcor NRGF Image helps enhance the movement of the anomaly to make it more visible. ___end___ Thu Jul 28 20:15:05 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook waves_1074_1hour.cbk line 67 Thu Jul 28 20:19:10 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook waves_1074_1hour.cbk line 73 Thu Jul 28 20:48:51 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook waves_1074_1hour.cbk line 123 Thu Jul 28 20:51:31 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook dark_80ms_2beam_16sums_BOTH.cbk line 0 Thu Jul 28 20:52:49 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 637_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 WEATHER COMMENT: mcotter: Thu Jul 28 20:55:11 GMT 2022 Aerosol levels have been increasing since the start of observing this morning.

The clouds have not reached the viewing area as yet but are close. The Kcor level 0 Synoptic images are beginning to get brighter and the Kcor NRGF and Quicklook images appear quite grainy due to the elevated aerosols associated with the Orthographic clouds. ___end___ Thu Jul 28 22:31:30 GMT 2022 UCoMP Paused for clouds WEATHER COMMENT: mcotter: Thu Jul 28 22:50:05 GMT 2022 The sky is now completely overcast and covered in clouds, some of them dark in color.
