VORTEX2: June 3, 2009 - 24 days. Operations provided for in the field: travel and interception.
Miles traveled today: 118. Total miles traveled: 7575.

The day 'was basically dedicated to exercise and the recovery of energy after the long ride yesterday. The weather briefing is not even organized as the day and 'declared that down to non-operation'.
Josh Wurman for the afternoon organizing a very useful tutorial for all probes. This is in practice to test the deployment of the pods (instrumental platforms) to be placed before the tornado. On Wheel by Doppler 7 stopped the car park all orders arrive and the four probe, the TIV and a pickup is coming to the dirt roads out of town a few miles away '.
The exercise is this: the pickup white simulating the tornado about ten miles from the starting position of all other vehicles on a road north to the rate 'constant 20 mph. All the probes are directed perpendicular to a road with a lead of about 10-12 minutes and are Iniva the instructions to make positioning the pod at a distance of 150 meters of each other. For now we feel the technique is called the leap frog in practice each probe its three pod download one after another. Are taken deployment time and GPS locations.
Once the deployment will bring all the vehicles in a safe position to await the passage of the tornado. The TIV is directed to interception of the direct-pickup tornado. Once the tornado crossed the road along which it is 'the virtual barrier was placed in the pod, the vehicles are transferred to the recovery of all the instruments on the ground and proceed to a subsequent deployment a few more miles' north.
The exercise allows all teams to test the timing on the field really available, refine the technique of positioning and orientation of the pod and try and try all the operations that must be made with the navigation software.
