Supported under NASA grants NAG59634 (Earth Observing System/Interdisciplinary Science Investigation) and NNG04GD65G (Office of Earth Science) and benefited by work done under NAG5836 (Earth Science Enterprise/HYDROMET/Large Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia) to the University of Maryland. We appreciate the monumental effort of W. B. Rossow in preparing the ISCCP data; without such information, this study would not have been possible. The ISCCP D1 data were obtained from the NASA Langley Atmospheric Sciences Data Center.
