Abstract:

The EUCREX-93 case study presents data from 10 Sep 1993 to 15 Oct 1993 and covers a region from 50N to 65N latitude and from 20W to 5E longitude. The data for this experiment is under Working Group 2 (Cloud Systems Studies) of the GEWEX Cloud System Study (GCSS) to improve physical parameterizations of clouds, other boundary layer processes, and their interactions.
