  • New Aerosol Chemical Speciation Monitor Data Product Now Available

    This sample plot from ARM’s TRacking Aerosol Convection interactions ExpeRiment (TRACER) near Houston, Texas, shows a selection of aerosol mass concentrations corrected for composition-dependent collection efficiency. A new data product from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility corrects time-of-flight aerosol chemical speciation monitor (ToF-ACSM) data for non-unity particle detection. The ToF-ACSM provides a quantitative…

  • Aerosol Optical Properties Data Released for TRACER, SAIL Campaigns

    Above are examples of properties available in the Aerosol Optical Properties value-added product files. Both plots illustrate one week of data from the TRacking Aerosol Convection interactions ExpeRiment (TRACER) in the Houston, Texas, area. The Aerosol Optical Properties value-added product (AOP VAP) is now available for two recent mobile deployments conducted by the Atmospheric Radiation…

  • New Precipitation Product Released for TRACER Campaign

    This laser disdrometer operated in Guy, Texas, during the TRacking Aerosol Convection interactions ExpeRiment (TRACER). Laser disdrometers measure drop size spectra and fall velocity of hydrometeors. A new precipitation value-added product (VAP) is now available for the 2021–2022 TRacking Aerosol Convection interactions ExpeRiment (TRACER) near Houston, Texas. The Laser Disdrometer Quantities (LDQUANTS) VAP provides quality-controlled…

  • Updated: New Cloud Radar and Sonde Products Available for TRACER, SAIL Campaigns

    Editor’s note (September 29, 2022): The end dates of the KAZRARSCL data for TRACER and SAIL have been updated below to reflect the availability of new data. The original announcement was published July 22, 2022. INTERPSONDE potential temperature output profiles are shown for October 7, 2021, during the TRacking Aerosol Convection interactions ExpeRiment (TRACER). The…

  • Doppler Lidar Data Products Released for 3 ARM Campaigns

    Time-height displays show Doppler lidar data from April 14, 2020, during the Cold-Air Outbreaks in the Marine Boundary Experiment (COMBLE). The top plot indicates wind speed (color) and wind vector direction (arrows), and the bottom plot provides vertical velocity. The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility operates Doppler lidars around the globe to provide measurements…
