Abstract

The NASA/GSFC Scanning Raman Lidar (SRL) participated in the International H 2O Project (IHOP) that occurred in May and June, 2002 in the midwestern part of the U. S. The SRL acquired measurements of water vapor, aerosols, cloud liquid and ice water, and temperature for more than 200 hours during IHOP. Here we report on the SRL water vapor and cirrus cloud measurements with particular emphasis being given to the measurements of June 19-20, 2002, which are motivating cirrus cloud model comparison studies.
