TL;DR: The First ISCCP Regional Experiment (FIRE) Arctic Clouds Experiment was conducted in the Arctic during April through July, 1998 as mentioned in this paper, and the primary goal of the field experiment was to gather the data needed to examine the impact of arctic clouds on the radiation exchange between the surface, atmosphere, and space, and to study how the surface influences the evolution of boundary layer clouds.

TL;DR: In this paper, a geostationary satellite data to document the conversion of the contrails to cirrus clouds was analyzed with geospatial satellite data and two unique contrails, a pair of figure eights and a NASA DC-8 oval, were tracked for more than 7 hours.

TL;DR: Cloud properties were retrieved by applying the Clouds and Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) project Edition-2 algorithms to 3.5 years of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Visible and Infrared Scanner data and 5.5 and 8 years of MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data from Aqua and Terra.

TL;DR: In this paper, the TWP-ICE campaign was used to drive and evaluate thirteen cloud-resolving model simulations with periodic lateral boundary conditions, which employed 2D and 3D dynamics, one-and two-moment microphysics, several variations on large-scale forcing, and the use of observationally derived aerosol properties to prognose droplet numbers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the use of research satellite imagers that maintain their solar-channel calibrations by using onboard diffuser systems that rely on the sun as an absolute reference.
