自NASA进行非常成功的热带铁砧和卷云层卷云区域研究-佛罗里达地区卷云实验研究（CRYSTAL-FACE）以来，已经有18个月了。测量活动旨在调查热带卷云的物理特性和形成过程。“水晶脸”是由美国航天局地球科学企业赞助的，作为其地球观测研究战略的一个组成部分，并包括与国家海洋和大气管理局、国家科学基金会、能源部和海军研究实验室的实质性合作。在2002年7月期间，使命的六架飞机（NASA ER-2、NASA WB-57、Scaled Composites Proteus、北达科他州Citation大学、NSF支持的NRL P-3和NRL Twin Otter）从基韦斯特海军航空设施运行。
It has been 18 months since NASA conducted the highly successful Cirrus Regional Study of Tropical Anvils and Cirrus Layers-Florida Area Cirrus Experiment Study (CRYSTAL-FACE). The measurement campaign was designed to investigate the physical properties and formation processes of tropical cirrus clouds. CRYSTAL-FACE was sponsored by NASA's Earth Science Enterprise as an integral component of its Earth observation research strategy and included substantial collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy and the Naval Research Laboratory. During July 2002, the mission's six aircraft (NASA ER-2, NASA WB-57, Scaled Composites Proteus, University of North Dakota Citation, NSF-supported NRL P-3,and NRL Twin Otter) operated from the Key West Naval Air Facility.
