  • 2D Best Estimate Data Sets From MC3E Now Available

    Data sets for the ARM Best Estimate 2-Dimensional Grid (ARMBE2DGRID) and Station-based Surface (ARMBESTNS) are now available for the Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) period, which occurred during April to June 2011. The primary goal of these two data sets is to provide 2-dimensional (2D) spatial data of important surface variables to facilitate studies…

  • Convective Vertical Velocity Data Ready for Evaluation

    A cross-section of the atmosphere over the Billings, Oklahoma, radar wind profiler (RWP) at 22:12 UTC on May 23, 2011. The x-axis shows the location of the RWP (-14.5 km) in relation to the SGP Central Facility (0 km). The y-axis shows height above the surface. The bar on the right-hand side shows reflectivity. Contours…

  • New Evaluation Product Estimates Planetary Boundary Layer Height

    Example quicklook plot from the VAP showing the sub-sampled potential temperature (black) and potential temperature lapse rate (red) from a single radiosonde along with the estimates of PBL height from the three methods. Click to enlarge. Planetary boundary layer (PBL) height (or mixing-layer depth) can vary significantly with time due to a number of factors,…

  • Mapping for Precipitation Radar Data Ready for Evaluation

    These images of MMCG data show three perspectives (slices) of corrected CSAPR reflectivity from a fixed location: (top) horizontal slice at a constant altitude; (middle) vertical slice along a constant longitude; (bottom) vertical slice along a constant latitude.The first-ever 4-dimensional ARM data product, called Mapped Moments to a Cartesian Grid (MMCG), is now available for…
