Flight Tracks

Maps of tracks flow and the run number assigned to the single-altitude runs in each:

Point Conception	Point Sur	Cape Mendocino	Cape Blanco
June 19	June 02	June 07	July 01
June 23	June 11	June 12
June 29	June 17	June 26
	June 21

Ogives

Ogive plots from each 30 m run of each flight. Different run numbers than those in the table above. An ogive is the cumulative sum of the flux from high to low frequency. If the ogive asymptotes smoothly to a single value then all flux is captured at the convergeant frequecy. The 18 runs which converge out of 48 total are shown in square brackets, ie [4].
