  • More Climate Modeling Best Estimate Data Available for More Sites

    Soundings and surface meteorological measurements are now available for five ARM sites in the CMBE data set.The latest release of the Climate Modeling Best Estimate (CMBE) data set has added soundings and surface meteorological measurements in the CMBE-ATM datastream for Barrow, Alaska, and all three Tropical Western Pacific sites. For these four sites, the cloud…

  • Second Version of Long-Term Climate Modeling Best Estimate Data Released

    Version 2 of the Climate Modeling Best Estimate includes the data source information for cloud fraction, as depicted in this data plot. With major improvements in the cloud fraction, cloud liquid water path (LWP), precipitable water vapor (PWV), and surface radiative fluxes, a new version of the “Climate Modeling Best Estimate” (CMBE) is now available…

  • New, Improved Algorithm for Retrieving Liquid Water Path Now Available at the ARM Data Archive

    The MWRRET product uses an improved retrieval technique and a method to identify and remove biases from the data to greatly improve the retrieved LWP (blue). It also performs so-called physical retrievals at each radiosonde launch time (black dots)—physical retrievals are the best possible retrieval that can be performed. The total amount of liquid water…
