Approximate flight path from Rothera to Pole (white line), superimposed on a satellite composite for 1500 UTC 24 Apr 2001, showing conditions during the flight. The dots are locations where modeled data are compared with observations. The filled dots correspond to surface stations, while triangles represent study points at 700 hPa. Black areas indicate no imagery available. (Courtesy of the Antarctic Meteorological Research Center).
