REVISED: Large-Scale Forcing Data for AMIE-GAN Updated
Analysis domain for Revelle, with diameters of 300 km. The red star denotes the ship location. Editor’s note (October 17, 2019): Large-scale forcing data developed from a constrained variational analysis approach have been reprocessed and made available for the ARM Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) Investigation Experiment on Gan Island (AMIE-Gan) in the Maldives. The data use…

Large-Scale Forcing Data from the R/V Roger Revelle
Constrained variational analysis forcing data centered at the R/V Roger Revelle are now available for the Dynamics of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (DYNAMO) and the ARM Madden-Julian Oscillation [MJO] Investigation Experiment [AMIE] on Gan Island, or AMIE-Gan field campaign. Due to the lack of a sounding array on the Revelle, these forcing data were developed based…

Additional Data Added to Aerosol Optical Depth Product
AOD at five wavelengths (top) and Angstrom exponent (bottom) at the Gan Island site on November 5, 2011.Aerosol optical depth (AOD) measures total aerosol burden in the atmosphere. The spectral dependence of AOD, typically described by the Angstrom exponent, is also an indicator of particle size. Small Angstrom exponent values (near zero) indicate presence of…
