  • New Radiative Flux Analysis VAP Now Operational

    Radiative flux analysis data of irradiance and cloud fraction are shown here for the Southern Great Plains. The Radiative Flux Analysis VAP is an implementation of a series of algorithms that estimate clear-sky broadband surface irradiances, cloud fraction, optical depth, cloud transmissivity, and cloud radiative effects. This VAP is an updated version of the Shortwave…

  • Shortwave Flux Analysis Extended to North Slope of Alaska

    This summer, the ARM Radiative Processes Working Group released an extension of the Shortwave Flux Analysis value-added product to include data from the ARM North Slope of Alaska locale. Originally released in 2004, the Shortwave Flux Analysis VAP was developed to infer clear-sky shortwave, shortwave cloud effects, and fractional sky cover from shortwave measurements at…
