ARM Best Estimate Data Sets Released for GoAmazon Campaign
ARMBEATM relative humidity (top, unit: %) and surface precipitation (bottom, unit: mm/hr) are shown from the Green Ocean Amazon (GoAmazon2014/15) campaign in 2014. ARMBECLDRAD cloud fraction (top) on September 1, 2014, near Manacapuru, Brazil, is derived from the W-Band ARM Cloud Radar Active Remote Sensing of Clouds (WACR-ARSCL) product (bottom). The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM)…
