This record contains all the data used in the analysis of a cirrus cloud case study from 14 - 15 June 2011 at Davis. Data in separate directories are as follows: 1) The lidar data are contained in a single netCDF and include the scattering ratio, aerosol extinction, aerosol backscatter, molecular backscatter, and uncorrected scattering ratio. 2) MODIS satellite data used in the radiative transfer calculations 3) A file containing the radar-derived tropopause altitudes (km) in two-hourly time-steps 4) A netCDF file for each of the radiosondes during this case study, including full documentation within each file 5) The radiative transfer code used
