    3. We will be conducting a small scale WISDOM launch over the next 30 hours from four locations: Puerto Rico; Bermuda; Azores; Dakar.

      Six WISDOM balloons will be launched to investigate the tropical depression near Cape Verde, marked as Area #1 by NHC with a high probability of Tropical Cyclone development. For all remaining teams there will be no launches until further notification on September 26 at 1900 UTC.

      Balloons launched from the four sites listed above can be tracked via NGI’s balloon tracker at: http://geodataserv.hpc.msstate.edu/WISDOM/

      This link and balloon trajectories, composite images are also available on the WISDOM website under real-time tracking at: http://wisdom.noaa.gov/.

      For composite images of 0-7 day and 2-7 day trajectory GIF and KMZ Google Earth files you can also look at: http://www.wxqa.com/wisdom.html
