Improved Broadband Radiation Data Available From ARM Fixed Sites
ARM radiometers operate near Lamont, Oklahoma, on April 18, 2023. ARM file photo. The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility processes yearly data from the Data Quality Assessment for ARM Radiation Data (QCRAD) product—the recommended ARM datastream for broadband surface irradiance measurements—to produce level 2 (c2) files. These files undergo additional processing to improve the…

New Broadband Irradiance Data Released for ARM Observatories
This collection of radiometers provides continuous measurements of broadband shortwave (solar) and longwave (infrared) irradiances for downwelling components. The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility processes yearly data from the Data Quality Assessment for ARM Radiation Data (QCRAD) and Radiative Flux Analysis (RADFLUXANAL) products to produce level 2 (c2) data. New c2-level data from QCRAD…
