  • New Aerosol Optical Depth Data Available for TRACER Campaign

    The Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) value-added product derived from 7-channel multifilter rotating shadowband radiometer (MFRSR) measurements is now available for the 2021–2022 TRacking Aerosol Convection interactions ExpeRiment (TRACER). AOD is the measure of the total aerosol burden in a vertical column of the atmosphere. The value-added product, known as AOD-MFRSR, reports cloud-screened AOD from the…

  • ARM Finishes Radiometer Upgrades; Related Data Product Updates Underway

    In fiscal year 2021, the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility completed a major upgrade of shortwave spectral instruments at its ground-based sites. ARM added a seventh channel to its multifilter rotating shadowband radiometers (MFRSRs), multifilter radiometers, and normal incidence multifilter radiometers. Data from these instruments are used to derive column-integrated properties, such as aerosol…

  • Aerosol Optical Depth Product Generates New Data

    New data are now available from the Aerosol Optical Depth value-added product derived from multifilter rotating shadowband radiometer measurements (AOD-MFRSR VAP). AOD is the measure of the total aerosol burden in a vertical column of the atmosphere. AOD-MFRSR reports cloud-screened AOD from the direct normal irradiance measured by MFRSRs at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM)…

  • Aerosol Optical Depth Data Updated for Azores, Macquarie Island

    Aerosol optical depth (AOD) is the measure of the total aerosol burden in a vertical column of the atmosphere. The AOD value-added product (VAP) has been running autonomously in production to derive AOD from direct normal irradiance measured by multifilter rotating shadowband radiometers (MFRSRs) at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility’s ground-based sites. This…
