Description

The CRYSTAL-FACE ER-2 DOPpler radar (EDOP) dataset consists of reprocessed data collected during the Cirrus Regional Study of Tropical Anvils and Cirrus Layers - Florida Area Cirrus Experiment (CRYSTAL-FACE) field campaign in July 2002. CRYSTAL-FACE focused on expanding our understanding of the physical properties and formation processes of cirrus clouds in the tropics. The reprocessing efforts of this dataset are limited to the previously processed data files and did not delve into reprocessing the data from the raw files.
