First ISCCP Regional Experiment (FIRE) Cirrus 2 High-Resolution Interferometer Sounder (HIS) Data (FIRE_CI2_HIS)
Entry ID: FIRE_CI2_HIS

[ 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 basic understanding of the interaction of physical processes
in determining life cycles of cirrus and marine stratocumulus systems
and the radiative ... View entire text
