MICROARSCL Evaluation Data Released: Harnessing the Power of Radar Doppler Spectra
Four of the roughly 30 variables provided by MICROARSCL are shown here for a day in Barrow, Alaska. Since 2004, the ARM Climate Research Facility has collected continuous recordings of profiling radar Doppler spectra. These recorded spectra offer a powerful means for overcoming the dependency of radar measurements on particle size (proportional to the sixth…

Data Plots Available for the ARM Mobile Facility Deployment in the Azores
The 20-month deployment of the ARM Mobile Facility on Graciosa Island in the Azores is well underway in support of the Clouds, Aerosol, and Precipitation in the Marine Boundary Layer field campaign. Data are being collected to study the seasonal life cycle of marine clouds and how they modulate the global climate system. These data…
