First ISCCP Regional Experiment (FIRE) Cirrus 1 NASA ER-2 Cloud Lidar System Data (FIRE_CI1_ER2_LIDAR)
Entry ID: FIRE_CI1_ER2_LIDAR

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: The First ISCCP Regional Experiments have been designed to improve
data products and cloud/radiation parameterizations used in general
circulation models (GCMs). Specifically, the goals of FIRE are (1) to
improve the basic understanding of the interaction of physical
processes in determining life cycles of cirrus and marine
stratocumulus systems and the radiative ... View entire text
