REVISED: Large-Scale Forcing Data for AMIE-GAN Updated
Analysis domain for Revelle, with diameters of 300 km. The red star denotes the ship location. Editor’s note (October 17, 2019): Large-scale forcing data developed from a constrained variational analysis approach have been reprocessed and made available for the ARM Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) Investigation Experiment on Gan Island (AMIE-Gan) in the Maldives. The data use…

New Evaluation Product Provides Thermodynamic Variables from Multiple Instruments
INTERPSONDE output from the SGP Central Facility during the Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment from April 26, 2011. The Interpolated Sonde (INTERPSONDE) value-added product (VAP) is an intermediate step of the MERGESONDE VAP that produces a daily file of atmospheric state variables (temperature, humidity, pressure, and winds) from radiosonde soundings, the microwave radiometer, and surface…

Moving on Up: Merged Sounding Data Now a Value-Added Product
Examples of relative humidity for SGP, NSA, and TWP-Darwin. The Merged Sounding evaluation product has moved into the ARM Data Archive as a value-added product (VAP). This Merged Sounding VAP, initially designed by Dr. Gerald Mace, was modified by software developer David Troyan under the scientific direction of Michael Jensen to better serve the ARM…

Long-Term, Large-Scale Ensemble Forcing Data Set for Darwin Available
A new data set is now available for the ARM Tropical Western Pacific site in Darwin for long-term, large-scale forcing data. Produced by Dr. Christian Jakob’s group at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, these data were constrained with C-POL radar retrieved rainfall through the variational analysis method (Zhang and Lin 1997) by using the European…
