Raman Lidar Vertical Profiles Product Expands to Oliktok Point, Alaska
Data at Oliktok Point, Alaska, are now available from the Raman Lidar Profiles – Feature detection and Extinction value-added product (RLPROF-FEX VAP). RLPROF-FEX provides vertical profiles of feature detections derived from Raman lidars operated by the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility. Features include aerosol, cloud, precipitation, and hydrometeor phase at 30-meter vertical and 2-minute…

Raman Lidar Profiles Value-Added Product Moves to Production
Gaps in our understanding of aerosols and their interactions and influence on clouds are among the main sources of energy balance uncertainties. To reduce these uncertainties in earth system models, continuous height-resolved measurements of cloud and aerosol optical properties are needed. Now in production, the Raman Lidar Profiles – Feature detection and Extinction (RLPROF-FEX) value-added…

Newly Revised Value-Added Products Available for Raman Lidar
A suite of newly revised value-added products (VAPs) is now available for Raman lidars operated by the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility. The suite consists of three VAPs: Water Vapor Mixing Ratio (MR), Temperature (TEMP), and Feature detection and EXtinction (FEX). The FEX VAP consists of time- and height-resolved estimates of cloud and aerosol…
