  • Radiosonde Parameter Calculation Data Sets Grow at 2 ARM Sites

    New and historical data from the Convective Parameters Derived from Radiosonde Data value-added product (SONDEPARAM VAP) are now available for the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility’s Southern Great Plains (SGP) and Eastern North Atlantic (ENA) atmospheric observatories. SONDEPARAM applies stable and consistent algorithms from Wang et al. (2020) for calculating useful radiosonde convective cloud…

  • Updated: New Cloud Radar Products Available From COMBLE Campaign

    Editor’s note (July 20, 2023): A new KASACRGRIDRHI evaluation release for COMBLE, which uses b1-level calibrated HSRHI data as input, is now available. The output is a single c1-level netCDF file containing calibrated radar moments remapped onto a 2D Cartesian grid. Access the data from the ARM Data Center. To cite the c1-level data, please…

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

    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, Brazil. The Interpolated Sonde (INTERPSONDE) VAP and W-Band Improved MICROBASE Product with Uncertainties (MICROBASEW) are now available…

  • Radiosonde Parameters Calculation VAP Available

    A new value-added product (VAP) for calculating radiosonde parameters within convective cloud environments is now available for download from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility. The Convective Parameters Derived from Radiosonde Data (SONDEPARAM) VAP facilitates the use of ARM radiosonde data sets by providing several standard radiosonde parameters and quantities of interest using common…

The original announcement was published July 22, 2022. The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility has released cloud radar and sonde value-added products (VAPs) from two ongoing field…

  • New Cloud Radar and Sonde Products Available for BAECC Campaign

    The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility released two new cloud radar and sonde value-added products (VAPs) from the Biogenic Aerosols – Effects on Clouds and Climate (BAECC) field campaign. BAECC took place from February to September 2014 in Hyytiälä, Finland. The new BAECC VAPs are Interpolated Sonde (INTERPSONDE) and Ka-Band ARM Zenith Radar Active…

  • Three New Value-Added Products Available for MOSAiC Expedition

    The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility released three new value-added products (VAPs) from the 2019–2020 Multidisciplinary Drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition. The three VAPs are Interpolated Sonde (INTERPSONDE), Ka-Band ARM Zenith Radar Active Remote Sensing of CLouds (KAZRARSCL), and Aerosol Optical Properties (AOP). INTERPSONDE transforms sounding data from weather…

  • REVISED: Additional Ka-Band ARM Zenith Radar Product Releases Now Available

    Editor’s note (September 1, 2021): Ka-Band ARM Zenith Radar Active Remote Sensing of CLouds (KAZRARSCL) data from January through June 2021 are now available for the Southern Great Plains and North Slope of Alaska atmospheric observatories. The data announcement below was originally published June 28, 2021. The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility has resumed…

  • Ka-Band ARM Zenith Radar Product Resumes for 2 Sites

    The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility has resumed production of the Ka-Band ARM Zenith Radar Active Remote Sensing of CLouds (KAZRARSCL) value-added product for the Eastern North Atlantic (ENA) atmospheric observatory and Oliktok Point, Alaska. From late December 2019 to May 2020, KAZRARSCL was not in production for the ENA and Oliktok Point sites…
