The fires produced large smoke plumes which had a significant environmental effect on the Persian Gulf region. These include measurements from monochromators, Epply pyranometers, ultraviolet radiometers, and rotating shadowband radiometers. Upper air measurements and meteorological observations were obtained by the NMC at different ground sites throughout the Persian Gulf region. The Kuwait oil fire ground-observation data are organized by site. There were about 80-90 sites where measurements were conducted.
