Continuous Large-Scale Forcing Data Now Available for Cloud Modeling From Southern Great Plains
The seasonal cycle of Southern Great Plains domain-averaged latent heat (LH) and sensible heat (SH) fluxes is shown by using QCECOR-only (QCECOR), BAEBBR-only (BAEBBR), and both QCECOR and BAEBBR data (merged) averaged from 2004-2015, and the impact to the derived large-scale vertical velocity (omega). Version 2 of the continuous forcing value-added product uses the merged…

Version 2 of the Continuous Large-Scale Forcing Data Now Available
Sample plots are shown here from the Southern Great Plains domain-averaged precipitation measurements from Arkansas-Red Basin River Forecast Center and the corresponding vertical velocity based on variational analysis for June 2015. Updated November 2017: Data are now available for the Southern Great Plains atmospheric observatory for the year 2015. The data sets are in netCDF format.…

New ARM Best Estimate Land Product Contains Critical Soil Quantities for Describing Land Properties
Soil moisture at the SGP Central Facility site for 1998, mean over five EBBR sensors, measured at 5 centimeters underground. The ARM Best Estimate: Land (ARMBELAND) value-added prduct (VAP) is a subset of the ARM Best Estimate (ARMBE) products designed to support community land-atmospheric research and land model developments. It contains several critical soil quantities…

Best Estimate Data Available for Sensible and Latent Heat Fluxes at the SGP
Data from the Bulk Aerodynamic Energy Balance Bowen Ratio (EBBR) Station, or BAEBBR, Value-Added Product (VAP) are now available at the ARCF Data Archive for the period 1993 through 2008 at the 15 Southern Great Plains (SGP) extended facilities with EBBR measurements. The BAEBBR VAP produces a “best estimate” of sensible and latent heat fluxes…
