Structures observed on the spot radiance fields during the FIRE experiment [PDF]
Three Spot images taken during the FIRE experiment on stratocumulus are analyzed. From this high resolution data detailed observations of the true cloud radiance field may be made.

Microphysical properties of stratocumulus clouds during ACE-2
Tellus B, 2000 Microphysical measurements performed during 8 flights of the CLOUDYCOLUMN component of ACE-2, with the Meteo-France Merlin-IV, are analyzed in terms of droplet number concentration and size. The droplet concentration is dependent upon the aerosol properties within the boundary layer.

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2017 Low and high clouds of shallow extent, especially stratocumulus and even more so for high‐level cirrus clouds that reside where vertical resolution is particularly coarse, are poorly represented in large‐scale models such as global climate models and ...

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).

Observations of changes in marine boundary layer clouds [PDF]
, 2009 Recent research outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) highlights the response of marine boundary layer (MBL) clouds to warming associated with increasing greenhouse gases as a major contributor to uncertainties in model ...

Cloud regimes as phase transitions
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 Clouds are repeatedly identified as a leading source of uncertainty in future climate predictions. Of particular importance are stratocumulus clouds, which can appear as either (i) closed cells that reflect solar radiation back to space or (ii) open ...

Intercomparisons of GOES-derived cloud parameters and surface observations over San Nicolas Island [PDF]
The spatial sampling limitations of surface measurement systems necessitate the use of satellite data for the investigation of large-scale cloud processes.

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 (

RAWS 1992 progress report [PDF]
The purpose of the Radar Wind Sounder (RAWS) instrument is to measure winds aloft in clouds while providing additional capabilities as an ocean surface-wind and rainfall sensor.
