First ISCCP Regional Experiment (FIRE) Arctic Cloud Experiment (ACE) Solar Spectral Flux Radiometer (SSFR)

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.First ISCCP Regional Experiment (FIRE) Artic Cloud Experiment (ACE) Solar Spectral Flux Radiometer (SSFR) in NetCDF format.

首届国际卫星云气候学计划（International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project, ISCCP）区域试验旨在改进通用环流模型（General Circulation Models, GCMs）中所应用的数据产品与云/辐射参数化方案。具体而言，该试验（First ISCCP Regional Experiments，以下简称FIRE）的核心目标分为两点：其一，深化对物理过程相互作用的基础认知，以明晰卷云与海洋层积云系统的生命周期规律，以及此类云体在其生命周期内的辐射特性；其二，探究ISCCP数据、GCM参数化方案与更高时空分辨率云数据之间的内在关联。本数据集为首届ISCCP区域试验（FIRE）北极云试验（Arctic Cloud Experiment, ACE）的太阳光谱通量辐射计（Solar Spectral Flux Radiometer, SSFR）观测数据，采用NetCDF格式存储。
