Unfortunately, the weather conditions have not improved. Strong winds and expected turbulence have prevented us from flying today, although it isn’t actually snowing at the moment.  
 
So, this is the end of the SMOSice2014 campaign and thank you everyone for a fantastic job!
 
And, here’s another of Stefan’s brilliant photos from yesterday’s flight, quite atmospheric!
