This report is intended to provide researchers with a brief description of the facilities that operated in the field, a daily summary of weather conditions and an overview of the scientific objectives and operations during the 13 IOPs. Section 2.0 contains a summary of the IOPs that researchers can use as a quick reference to determine what operations took place during the program. Section 3.0 gives a brief overview of the different facilities that operated in the field, and some of the data recording characteristics of that facility. This section is divided into five categories: 1) upper-air, 2) surface mesonetwork, 3) radars, 4) VHF wind Profiler, and 5) aircraft. Section 4.0 presents an overview of the daily meteorological conditions and summaries of scientific objectives, operations, and data collected during IOPs. Section 5.0 discusses the data archiving and data management for the program. Appendix A provides the location of the observational systems that operated in the field.
