  • ARM Data-Oriented Metrics and Diagnostics Package Updated

    New release will be used in E3SM diagnostics package The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility provides high-frequency and long-term data sets to help develop and improve earth system models. A data-oriented metrics and diagnostics package called ARM-DIAGS—now in its second version—is designed to further facilitate the use of ground-based ARM measurements in model evaluation. ARM-DIAGS…

  • Microwave Radiometer Retrieval Data Available for 3 ARM Campaigns

    The Multidisciplinary Drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition used microwave radiometers (2-channel on the left and 3-channel on the right) to measure water vapor and liquid molecules in the atmosphere. The Microwave Radiometer Retrievals (MWRRET) value-added product (VAP) has been released for three recent Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility field…

  • Large-Scale Forcing Data Released for West Antarctic Campaign

    The map shows the variational analysis domain (enclosed by the red circle in the left bottom corner) for the ARM West Antarctic Radiation Experiment (AWARE). The domain is centered at 77oS, 168.25oE, near McMurdo Station on Ross Island. Four months of continuous large-scale forcing data are now available for the ARM Mobile Facility deployment at…

  • ARM Development Update: Value-Added Products

    Editor’s note: This is the first quarterly update from ARM Engineering and Process Manager Jennifer Comstock, who also oversees ARM science products. Jennifer Comstock After several years focused on improving the delivery of value-added products (VAPs) for ARM Mobile Facility deployments, ARM data translators are turning their attention to upgrading existing VAPs and developing new…

  • Shaocheng Xie: Translating ARM Data for Science

    A cloud and earth system modeler coordinates the science translators who help make ARM measurements more accessible Shaocheng Xie has been ARM’s value-added products and translators lead since 2019. In the summer of 1992, the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility collected its first data from a battery-powered device in an Oklahoma cow pasture. Almost…

  • New Cases and High-Frequency Observations Released for LASSO

    The Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) ARM Symbiotic Simulation and Observation (LASSO) data set has grown yet again. Seventeen new cases are now available from the 2019 shallow convection season at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility’s Southern Great Plains (SGP) atmospheric observatory. The current LASSO data set focuses on shallow convection with LES output provided…

  • ARM Produces Its First 3-Dimensional Large-Scale Forcing Data

    This schematic showing ARM’s Southern Great Plains atmospheric observatory illustrates the difference between VARANAL and VARANAL3D. The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility has made available its first three-dimensional (3D) large-scale forcing data using a 3D constrained variational analysis approach, known as VARANAL3D. Initially, VARANAL3D evaluation data are available from two field campaigns at ARM’s…
