ARESE Meteorological Summary
				Flight 3

		       15 - 19 UTC 29 September 1995

With the exception of very widely scattered boundary layer cumulus,
clear skies dominated the region during this flight.  Surface high pressure
was building over the area as a trough in the low levels moved east of the
Mississippi river.  Winds below 700 mb were northerly with speeds less than
10 m/s.  Aloft, winds backed and increased in speed.  500 mb winds were 
westerly at 20 m/s.  The 18 UTC sounding from the CART site central 
facility indicated very dry air through the depth of the troposphere.  
Two distinct layers with extremely low relative humidities existed at 850
and 530 mb.  A weak temperature inversion is noted between 600 and
650 mb.
