FIRE II - Cirrus Data Sets |
First ISCCP Regional Experiment (FIRE) II Cirrus was conducted in southeastern Kansas. It was designed to improve the understanding of the physical processes involved in the life cycles of cirrus and marine stratocumulus systems, the radiative properties of these clouds and their interactions.
