  • New Merged Product Integrates G-1 Flight Data

    Aerosol concentration data from the G-1 ultrafine condensation particle counter are shown for an approximately three-hour flight on December 8, 2018, near Córdoba, Argentina, during the CACTI campaign. Image is from Krista Gaustad, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. From 2010 until its final science mission in 2018, the Gulfstream-159 (G-1) aircraft served as the Atmospheric Radiation…

  • Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer Product Expands to 4 ARM Campaigns

    The figure shows a time series of temperature, relative humidity, and water vapor mixing ratios retrieved from AERIoe for the Cloud, Aerosol, and Complex Terrain Interactions (CACTI) field campaign in Argentina on February 24, 2019. The Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer Optimal Estimation value-added product (AERIoe VAP) is now available in evaluation mode for the following four field…

  • Full ACE-ENA Cloud Droplet Size Distribution Data Set Available

    This sample plot shows the cloud droplet size distribution in time for one research flight on July 18, 2017, as measured by the holographic detector of clouds (HOLODEC) during the Aerosol and Cloud Experiments in the Eastern North Atlantic (ACE-ENA) campaign. A fully processed data product providing cloud droplet size distribution by aircraft measurements is…

  • Companion Data Sets Key In on Eastern North Atlantic Doppler Lidar

    This Doppler lidar operates at ARM’s Eastern North Atlantic atmospheric observatory. Doppler lidars record raw backscatter and mean Doppler velocity. Photo is by Bruno Cunha, ARM. Two new Doppler lidar principal investigator data sets are available from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility’s Eastern North Atlantic (ENA) atmospheric observatory. Doppler lidars, which record backscatter…

  • ACE-ENA Data Sets Take Center Stage During AGU and AMS Meetings

    Scientists put ARM field campaign’s data sets to work ARM’s Eastern North Atlantic (ENA) atmospheric observatory provided ground-based measurements for the Aerosol and Cloud Experiments in the Eastern North Atlantic (ACE-ENA) campaign in summer 2017 and winter 2018. ARM also deployed its Gulfstream-159 (G-1) aircraft for the campaign. Abundant above the Earth, low clouds affect…

  • ACE-ENA Spotlight: Capturing the 4-Dimensional Variability of Shallow Precipitation

    Editor’s note: This is the third entry in a blog series about ARM’s Aerosol and Cloud Experiments in the Eastern North Atlantic (ACE-ENA) field campaign, which took place during 2017 and 2018. Pavlos Kollias, an ACE-ENA co-investigator from Stony Brook University, shares a new set of precipitation findings from the air- and ground-based campaign. Figure 1:…

  • ACE-ENA Spotlight: Measuring How Clouds Respond to Seasonal Aerosol Changes

    Editor’s note: This is the second entry in a blog series about ARM’s Aerosol and Cloud Experiments in the Eastern North Atlantic (ACE-ENA) field campaign, which took place during 2017 and 2018. Rob Wood, an ACE-ENA co-investigator from the University of Washington, shares a new set of findings from the air- and ground-based campaign. Every spring,…

  • ACE-ENA Spotlight: Illuminating Seasonal Aerosol Differences

    Editor’s note: This is the first entry in a blog series about ARM’s Aerosol and Cloud Experiments in the Eastern North Atlantic (ACE-ENA) field campaign, which took place during 2017 and 2018. ACE-ENA Principal Investigator Jian Wang, Washington University in St. Louis, provides a campaign overview and writes about aerosol findings from the air- and…

  • Submit Your ENA Papers Now for Joint Special Journal Issue

    Papers using data from ARM’s Eastern North Atlantic atmospheric observatory are being accepted for a joint special issue on marine aerosols, trace gases, and clouds over the North Atlantic. Scientists have a new outlet for publishing papers that use data from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility’s Eastern North Atlantic (ENA) atmospheric observatory. The…

  • Large-Scale Forcing Data Released for ACE-ENA Campaign

    (Left) The map shows the variational analysis domain (enclosed by the red line) for the Aerosol and Cloud Experiments in the Eastern North Atlantic (ACE-ENA) field campaign. The domain is centered at ARM’s Eastern North Atlantic (ENA) atmospheric observatory on Graciosa Island. (Right) Sample plots show domain-averaged surface precipitation from the ENA rain gauge and…
