Dynamical Characteristics of Cirrus Clouds from Aircraft and Radar Observations in Micro and Meso-γ Scales

Cirrus clouds that formed Nov 26, 1991 and Dec 6, 1991 during the First International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project Regional Experiment are examined because of significant dynamic activity in the micro and meso-gamma scales within the cloud.
