Abstract
During the period of 26 October 1989 through 6 December 1989 a unique complement of measurements was made at the University of Wisconsin-Mad ison to study the radiative properties of cirrus clouds. Simultaneous observations were obtained from a scanning lidar, two interferometers, a high spectral resolution lidar, geostationary and polar orbiting sa tellites, radiosonde launches, and a whole-sky imager. This paper desc ribes the experiment, the instruments deployed, and, as an example, th e data collected during one day of the experiment.
