(3) Determines the primary modes of operation for appropriate instrumentation. (4) Assists in the selection of the mission. (5) Provides a written summary of the mission to the field program director (or his designee) at the experiment's debriefing. D.4 Lead Project Scientist (1) Has overall scientific responsibility for his/her aircraft. (2) Makes in-flight decisions concerning alterations of: (a) specified flight patterns; (b) instrumentation operation; and (c) assignment of duties to on-board scientific project personnel. (3) Acts as project supervisor on the aircraft and is the focal point for all interactions of project personnel with operational or visiting personnel. (4) Conducts preflight and post flight briefings of the entire crew. Completes formal checklists of safety, instrument operations - noting malfunctions, problems, etc. (5) Provides a written report of each mission day's operations to the field program director at the mission debriefing. D.5 Cloud Physics Scientist (1) Has overall responsibility for the cloud physics project on the aircraft. (2) Briefs the on-board lead project scientist on equipment status before takeoff. (3) Determines the operational mode of the cloud physics sensors (i.e., where, when, and at what rate to sample). (4) Operates and monitors the cloud physics sensors and data systems. (5) Provides a written preflight and post flight status report and flight summary of each mission day's operations to the on-board lead project scientist at the post flight debriefing. D.6 Boundary-Layer Scientist (1) Insures that the required number of AXCPs, AXBTs, and AXCTDs are on the aircraft for each mission. (2) Operates the AXCP, AXBT, and AXCTD equipment (as required) on the aircraft. (3) Briefs the on-board lead project scientist on equipment status before takeoff. (4) Determines where and when to release the AXCPs, AXBTs, and AXCTDs (as appropriate) subject to clearance by flight crew.
