Winds are blowing and wakes are propagating!

Tonight (4 July 0000 UTC+) we will likely have our first case study!

When Branko and I visited the windcubes this afternoon to install the modem at A2, we noticed winds were rotating from NEly to SEly and very slow, ~ 3m/s. 

This evening, we have perfect SEly winds. At A3, we can clearly see the wake in the profile 

especially when compared to the clean profile at A1:

Veer has not yet developed under the LLJ, but it's great to see some wakes!

The radiometer is not yet online (we will try again to install a US Cellular USB modem on Friday) but is collecting data.
