| Description | During the marine stratocumulus phase of the First International Satellite Cloud Climatology Regional Experiment (FIRE) in July 1987, researchers acquired radiative flux data from a variety of instruments which were flown on the ER-2 high altitude aircraft. The spectral coverage ranged from the near UV to beyond 40 microns. A survey and selected preliminary analyses of these measurements are presented. The specific instruments used in the experiment were chosen primarily for measuring quantities of specific interest for marine stratocumulus fields. However, testing and evaluation of instrumentation and techniques to be used in the future inland cirrus experiment was also an important consideration. Details of the instruments and the significance of what they measure are given. |
