First ISCCP Regional Experiment (FIRE) Arctic Cloud Experiment (ACE) ER-2 Millimeter-wave Imaging Radiometer (MIR)

Published by NASA/LARC/SD/ASDC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: May 06, 2026 at 06:40 PM | Dataset Last Updated: April 20, 2026
The First ISCCP Regional Experiments have been designed to improve data products and cloud/radiation parameterizations used in general circulation models (GCMs). Specifically, the goals of FIRE are (1) to improve basic understanding of the interaction of physical processes in determining life cycles of cirrus and marine stratocumulus systems and the radiative properties of these clouds during their life cycles and (2) to investigate the interrelationships between the ISCCP data, GCM parameterizations, and higher space and time resolution cloud data.FIRE ACE Millimeter-wave Imaging Radiometer flown aboard the ER2.
