  • Description:
    B-57 jet aircraft of the 58th Weather Reconnaissance Squadron, 9th Weather Wing, Air Weather Service, U.S. Air Force, flew high-level cloud photography missions during the Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment (BOMEX) of May, June, and July 1969. Cloud pictures taken from 50,000 feet on twelve flights and from 60,000 feet on two flights (between June 21 and July 2 of BOMEX Period III) are presented in composite format for the south, east, and north legs of each flight. This atlas makes available a picture inventory of mid-day cloud conditions over much of the BOMEX area on June 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, and July 2, 1969. It facilitates correlation studies of cloud conditions as viewed from 50,000 and 60,000 feet with low-level cloud photography, satellite cloud pictures, radar precipitation measurements, and other BOMEX weather observations.
