Improved Broadband Radiation Data Available From ARM Fixed Sites
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 data. New c2-level data are available for all three of ARM’s fixed-location atmospheric…

New Radiative Flux Analysis Data Produced for Southern Great Plains
The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility processes yearly data from the Radiative Flux Analysis value-added product (RADFLUXANAL VAP) to produce level 2 (c2) data. New c2-level data are available from the 2020–2021 processing at ARM’s Southern Great Plains (SGP) atmospheric observatory. RADFLUXANAL calculates clear-sky irradiance in the shortwave and longwave surface fluxes from broadband…

Radiative Flux Analysis Data Reprocessed for SGP Broadband Radiometer Station
All historical Radiative Flux Analysis value-added product (RADFLUXANAL VAP) data for the broadband radiometer station (BRS) at the Southern Great Plains atmospheric observatory have been reprocessed to propagate corrections recently made in input data. RADFLUXANAL calculates clear-sky irradiance in the shortwave and longwave surface fluxes from the measured broadband irradiance at Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM)…

Radiation Data Quality VAP Data Reprocessed for SGP Broadband Radiometer Station
An end-to-end reprocessing of data from the Data Quality Assessment for ARM Radiation Data value-added product (QCRAD VAP) is complete for the broadband radiometer station (BRS) at the Southern Great Plains (SGP) atmospheric observatory. All historical data (from September 1, 1993, to August 6, 2019) are reprocessed and now available. QCRAD has long been the…
