  • New 2- and 3-Channel Microwave Radiometer Retrieval Data Produced

    This MWRRET quicklook image provides information from the 2-channel microwave radiometer that operated on the Ellen Browning Scripps Memorial Pier in La Jolla, California, during the EPCAPE campaign on December 14, 2023. The image shows, from top to bottom, observed brightness temperatures at 23.8 GHz (blue) and 31.4 GHz (red); retrieved precipitable water vapor from…

  • New Cloud Microphysics VAP Evaluation Data Released for TRACER Campaign

    Sample plots show the primary fields from MICROBASEKAPLUS (liquid water content, liquid effective radius, ice water content, and ice effective radius) for October 14, 2021, at the TRACER ARM Mobile Facility site in La Porte, Texas. The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility’s Improved MICROBASE Product with Uncertainties (MICROBASEKAPLUS) is now available for the 2021–2022…

  • Microwave Radiometer Retrieval Data Now Available for SAIL

    This MWRRET quicklook image provides information from the SAIL campaign near Crested Butte, Colorado, on March 22, 2022. From top to bottom, the image shows observed brightness temperatures at 23.8 GHz (blue) and 31.4 GHz (red); retrieved precipitable water vapor from the physical method (blue) and statistical method (green); and retrieved liquid water path from…

The image shows, from top to bottom, observed brightness temperatures at 23.8 GHz (blue) and 31.4 GHz (red); retrieved precipitable water vapor from the physical method (blue) and statistical method (green);…

  • Cloud Microphysics VAP Extended at Southern Great Plains

    Sample plots show the primary fields from MICROBASEKAPLUS (liquid water content, liquid effective radius, ice water content, and ice effective radius) on November 21, 2021, at ARM’s Southern Great Plains atmospheric observatory. New evaluation data are available from a value-added product (VAP) that builds upon the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility’s historical Continuous Baseline…

  • New Cloud Microphysics and Sonde Products Available for 2 ARM Campaigns

    INTERPSONDE potential temperature output profiles are shown for November 18, 2012, during the Two-Column Aerosol Project (TCAP). The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility released two new cloud microphysics and sonde value-added products (VAPs) from the 2012–2013 Two-Column Aerosol Project (TCAP) on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and the Green Ocean Amazon (GoAmazon2014/15) field campaign near Manaus,…

  • Improved Microwave Radiometer Retrieval Data Produced for 2 ARM Sites

    This Microwave Radiometer Retrievals (MWRRET) quicklook image provides information from ARM’s Southern Great Plains Central Facility on July 2, 2021. The image shows, from top to bottom, observed brightness temperatures at 23.8 GHz (blue) and 31.4 GHz (red); retrieved precipitable water vapor from the physical method (blue) and statistical method (green); and retrieved liquid water…

  • New Cloud Microphysics VAP Evaluation Data Available for 3 ARM Sites

    Sample plots are from the Cold-Air Outbreaks in the Marine Boundary Layer Experiment (COMBLE) near Andenes, Norway, and show the primary fields from MICROBASEKAPLUS (liquid water content, liquid effective radius, ice water content, ice effective radius) on May 25, 2020. Cloud microphysical properties affect cloud radiative heating, precipitation formation, and aerosol-cloud interactions, among other important…

  • Updated Microwave Radiometer Retrieval Product Available for MOSAiC

    The Microwave Radiometer Retrievals (MWRRET) value-added product retrieves column precipitable water vapor and liquid water path from ARM’s 2-channel microwave radiometers. New files from the Microwave Radiometer Retrievals value-added product (MWRRET VAP) are now available for the Multidisciplinary Drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition. This release is more complete than the…

  • Cloud Droplet Number Concentration Product Updated

    This sample plot from the Southern Great Plains Central Facility shows the droplet number concentration for October 30, 2019. New data are available from the Droplet Number Concentration value-added product (NDROP VAP), which has been updated to use additional inputs. This will allow NDROP to be available quicker with better retrievals and to be applied…
