A comparison of ISCCP and FIRE satellite cloud parameters [PDF]
One of the goals of the First ISCCP Regional Experiment (FIRE) is the quantification of the uncertainties in the cloud parameter products derived by the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP).

Turbulence structure in clear and cloudy regions of the 7 July 1987 Electra mission [PDF]
The 7 July mission of the 1987 FIRE Marine Stratocumulus Intensive Field Observations was chosen for analysis because of a well-defined transition from stratocumulus to clear conditions sampled by the aircraft on this day.

Cloud parameters derived from GOES during the 1987 marine stratocumulus FIRE Intensive Field Observation (IFO) period [PDF]
The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) is well suited for observations of the variations of clouds over many temporal and spatial scales. For this reason, GOES data taken during the Marine Stratocumulus Intensive Field Observations (

Resolving Droplet Sedimentation Effects in Stratocumulus Clouds
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth SystemsAbstractWe use direct numerical simulations to quantify the effects that droplet sedimentation has on the stratocumulus‐topped boundary layer. Our analysis includes both ends of the length‐scale spectrum that are deemed important for representing turbulence in stratocumulus clouds, spanning from meter scales at the cloud top to large energy‐containing ...

Entrainment in stratocumulus‐topped mixed layers
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2002 AbstractMixed‐layer theory is used to synthesize and evaluate recently proposed entrainment parametrizations (rules) for the stratocumulus‐topped boundary layer. The results illustrate that recently proposed entrainment rules exhibit marked differences.

Aerosol hygroscopicity in the marine atmosphere: a closure study using high-time-resolution, multiple-RH DASH-SP and size-resolved C-ToF-AMS data [PDF]
, 2009 We have conducted the first airborne hygroscopic growth closure study to utilize data from an Aerodyne compact Time-of-Flight Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (C-ToF-AMS) coupled with size-resolved, multiple-RH, high-time-resolution hygroscopic growth factor ...
