DYCOMS-II is the name given to a field campaign which proposes to collect data for the purposes of testing large-eddy simulations of nocturnal tratocumulus. DYCOMS-II is based on measurements taken from the NCAR EC-130Q in and around nocturnal marine stratocumulus. The experiment consists of 9 flights out of North Island Naval Air Station (just west of San Diego) between July 7 and July 28, 2001. Eight of these flights were nocturnal.
The data presented here are from 7 July 2001 to 28 July 2001 and cover a region from 25N to 40N latitude and from 130W to 115W 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/DYCOMS-II). 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.
