Boundary layer roll circulations during FIRE [PDF]
The probable mechanism underlying the development of boundary layer roll circulations are studied using wind and temperature profiles measured by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Electra during the stratocumulus phase of the First ...

Extended time observations of California marine stratocumulus clouds from GOES for July 1983-1987 [PDF]
One of the goals of the First ISCCP Regional Experiment (FIRE) is to relate the relatively small scale (spatial and temporal) Intensive Field Observations (IFO) to larger time and space domains embodied in the Extended Time Observations (ETO) phase of ...

Large-scale variability in marine stratocumulus clouds defined from simultaneous aircraft and satellite measurements [PDF]
Satellite images often show significant variations in the structure of marine stratocumulus clouds on scales ranging from 10 to 1000 km. This is illustrated where a GOES West satellite image shows a well-defined variation in cloud structure near 32 N ...

Lidar cloud studies for FIRE and ECLIPS [PDF]
Optical remote sensing measurements of cirrus cloud properties were collected by one airborne and four ground-based lidar systems over a 32 h period during this case study from the First ISCCP (International Satellite Cloud Climatology Program) Regional ...

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.
