RCS
Remote Cloud Sensing (RCS) Field Evaluation
1 April 1994 - 31 May 1994
Lead Scientist: Robert Kropfli
Observatory: sgp, sgp
The primary purpose of the field evaluation and calibration of several remote-sensing cloud observing instruments (some of which are from the IDP project). In situ cloud observations are critical to the success of this IOP. Enhanced soundings are required at the central facility.
