Subject: Plume image from April 12 flyover

On Monday, April 11, Jay Hoogstra, an aerial photographer and pilot, was
hired to fly over the recent plume event and get some 'up-close' imagery
and a precise location on the offshore extension of the plume.  Mike
McCormick went along to help guide the pilot and serve as backup pilot in
case of an emergency.  Thanks to Jay - he did an excellent job.  Thanks too
to Mike for braving the elements and contributing to some fantastic shots.

Dave Schwab is currently digitizing the negatives we received from the
pilot. I've posted one such image on Mike's Project Page,
http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/eegle/projects/p03/p03.html
This image was taken on 4/11/2000 at an elevation of 3615' and a
heading of 330 degrees (NNW).  The location is 42 25.19', 86 37.35'.  The
width of the image represents about 3600'.  The offshore extension of the
plume appears to the left in the photograph.

See http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/eegle/resources/plume_images/00plume-apr.html
for the NOAA-14 reflectance image.

Cheers,
