The Canadian Atlantic Storms Program (CASP) II was conducted near the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland , Canada, from 15 January through 15 March 1992 to improve understanding and prediction of the mesoscale structure of east coast storms and to improve understanding of the interaction between the atmosphere, ocean and sea ice (Stewart, R.E., 1991: Canadian Atlantic Storms Program: Progress and Plans of the Meteorological Component, Bull. Amer. Meteor. Soc.,72,364-371). Data were collected from aircraft, the local meteorological network, a special "mesonet", and Doppler radar.
The data presented here are from 26 Feb 1992 to 27 Feb 1992 and cover a region from 35N to 55N latitude and from 80W to 40W longitude.
Selected variables from the ISCCP D1 and DX are available here for display as GIF images, or for downloading to your local disk. If you are downloading data, please see the browse data format description. Also take note of the reference information. The full documentation for the ISCCP D1 and DX data can be found at the ISCCP D1 and DX webpage.
If you are downloading multiple files, please use the GCSS-DIME ftp site (ftp gcss-dime.giss.nasa.gov/pub/CASP). D1 or DX files obtained from the ftp site are in D1 or DX-specific formats and must be read using either dxread.f or d1read.f available at the ISCCP website
Note also that the complete ISCCP DX data is now available from the ISCCP's Official Data Archives (NOAA/NESDIS/NCDC) via anonymous ftp through ftp://eclipse.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/isccp/dx.
