  • Large-Scale Forcing Data Released for Macquarie Island Campaign

    The map shows the variational analysis domain (enclosed by the red circle) for the Macquarie Island Cloud and Radiation Experiment (MICRE). The domain is centered at 158.9oE, 54.5oS. The ARM site on Macquarie Island is located at the center of the domain. Continuous large-scale forcing data are now available for the Macquarie Island Cloud and…

  • Aerosol Optical Depth Data Updated for Azores, Macquarie Island

    Measurements from the multifilter rotating shadowband radiometer, seen here at ARM’s Eastern North Atlantic atmospheric observatory, allow users to infer the atmosphere’s aerosol optical depth at each wavelength. Aerosol optical depth (AOD) is the measure of the total aerosol burden in a vertical column of the atmosphere. The AOD value-added product (VAP) has been running…

  • Radiative Flux Analysis Data Released for Macquarie Island Campaign

    This plot shows irradiance and albedo—surface reflectivity—from the Radiative Flux Analysis (RADFLUXANAL) value-added product for the Macquarie Island (MCQ) ARM site from December 31, 2016, to January 1, 2017. The Radiative Flux Analysis value-added product (RADFLUXANAL VAP) is now available for the 2016–2018 Macquarie Island Cloud and Radiation Experiment (MICRE) in the Southern Ocean. RADFLUXANAL…

  • Radiation Data Quality VAP Expands to COMBLE and MICRE Campaigns

    These radiometers collected data during the 2016–2018 Macquarie Island Cloud and Radiation Experiment (MICRE). Photo is courtesy of Jeff Aquilina, Australian Bureau of Meteorology. The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility’s longtime recommended datastream for broadband surface irradiance measurements is Data Quality Assessment for ARM Radiation Data (QCRAD). The QCRAD value-added product (VAP) is now…

  • BAMS Paper Highlights Initial ARM Southern Ocean Campaign Results

    MARCUS, MICRE included in overview publication of recent campaigns in the region During the Measurements of Aerosols, Radiation, and Clouds over the Southern Ocean (MARCUS) field campaign, ARM instruments aboard the Aurora Australis supply vessel collected atmospheric data while traveling between Australia and Antarctica between October 2017 and April 2018. To improve the understanding and…
