We are planning the flight of a relatively low altitude balloon to track air
masses at the 500mb level (around 18k feet on average). Given this lower
altitude (at least compared to a stratospheric balloon), I was wondering how
the path should be set - WIDE or WIDE2-2 or RELAY,WIDE? Or something else
entirely?
(BTW, we're using a Pockettracker, so I'm a little nervous about just using
WIDE given the low power of the unit - RELAY still makes me feel all warm
and fuzzy inside!)
Thanks and 73,
Robert
