  • Continuous Large-Scale Forcing Data for Cloud Modeling From Southern Great Plains Extended to October 2018

    The seasonal cycle of Southern Great Plains domain-averaged latent heat (LH) and sensible heat (SH) fluxes is shown by using QCECOR-only (QCECOR), BAEBBR-only (BAEBBR), and both QCECOR and BAEBBR data (merged) averaged from 2004 to 2015, and the impact to the derived large-scale vertical velocity (omega). Version 2 of the continuous forcing value-added product uses…

  • Improved Quality Controlled Eddy Correlation Flux Measurement Data Extended for SGP

    Eddy correlation flux measurement (ECOR) systems, like this one at the Southern Great Plains observatory, are installed at ARM’s fixed and mobile observatories. These systems provide key measurements for the QCECOR VAP. Another year of data have been processed for the Quality Controlled Eddy Correlation (QCECOR) value-added product (VAP). This VAP provides improved surface turbulence flux…

  • Quality Controlled Eddy Correlation Flux Measurement Data Now Updated for SGP

    The protocol for the QCECOR VAP workflow is shown here. Two more years of data have been processed for the Quality Controlled Eddy Correlation (QCECOR) value-added product (VAP). This VAP provides improved surface turbulence flux measurements to the ARM user community. Data now extend from 2003 to October 2017 for all systems at the Southern Great…

  • Continuous Large-Scale Forcing Data Now Available for Cloud Modeling From Southern Great Plains

    The seasonal cycle of Southern Great Plains domain-averaged latent heat (LH) and sensible heat (SH) fluxes is shown by using QCECOR-only (QCECOR), BAEBBR-only (BAEBBR), and both QCECOR and BAEBBR data (merged) averaged from 2004-2015, and the impact to the derived large-scale vertical velocity (omega). Version 2 of the continuous forcing value-added product uses the merged…

  • 2D ARM Best Estimate Data Sets Updated to Include QCECOR

    Surface latent (left) and sensible (right) heat fluxes (units are in W/m2) are shown here for ARMBESTNS in July 2012. The data source is QCECOR. Different sites are color-coded. Updated: Data are now available for the Southern Great Plains atmospheric observatory for the years 2013 and 2014. The ARM Best Estimate 2-dimensional Gridded Surface (ARMBE2DGRID) and…

  • Reprocessed, Quality-Controlled Eddy Correlation Flux Measurement VAP for GoAmazon

    Example of one day fluxes with quality flags is shown here with bad data set to missing. Quality-Controlled Eddy Correlation Flux Measurement (QCECOR) value-added product data were reprocessed for the first ARM Mobile Facility (AMF1) deployment at Manacapuru, Brazil, from April 2014 to December 2015, as a critical component of a two-year scientific collaborative field…

  • New Release of Reprocessed QCECOR Data

    A new protocol for the QCECOR VAP at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has been developed. Quality-Controlled Eddy Correlation Flux Measurement (QCECOR) value-added product data were reprocessed for all the stations at the Southern Great Plains (SGP) site from year 2003 to the end of year 2015. The QCECOR data provide surface sensible and latent heat flux…

  • New Evaluation Product Provides Improved Eddy Correlation Data

    This figure describes the process used to generate the QCECOR VAP. Click to enlarge.Eddy correlation flux measurement systems (ECOR) are used by ARM to provide surface turbulence flux measurements. The Quality Controlled Eddy Correlation Flux (QCECOR) value-added product (VAP) improves the ECOR data by applying the following quality control (QC) procedures: Eddy correlation corrections Determination…
