Summary
Abstract: The Cirrus Regional Study of Tropical Anvils and Cirrus Layers - Florida Area Cirrus Experiment (CRYSTAL-FACE) is a measurement campaign designed to investigate tropical cirrus cloud physical properties and formation processes. Understanding the production of upper tropospheric cirrus clouds is essential for the successful modeling of the Earth's climate.

The CRYSTAL-FACE mission used a variety of platforms and instrumentation. The mission was conducted from Florida and aircraft were based at the Key West Naval Air Station.

Quick-Look data from many of the CRYSTAL-FACE instruments are available from:
