  • 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…

  • Scanning ARM Cloud Radar-Velocity Azimuth Display Product Released to Production

    The Scanning ARM Cloud Radar-Advanced-Velocity Azimuth Display (SACR-ADV-VAD) value-added product, which provides profiles of horizontal wind estimates at cloud level, has moved to production. SACR-ADV-VAD uses radial mean Doppler velocity observations from the Hemispherical Sky Range Height Indicator (HS-RHI) scan strategy of the Ka-Band Scanning ARM Cloud Radar (KASACR). The VAD technique provides retrieved wind…

  • New Scanning ARM Cloud Radar – Advanced – Velocity Azimuth Display (SACR-ADV-VAD) Product Released to Evaluation

    The Scanning ARM Cloud Radar-Advanced-Velocity Azimuth Display (SACR-ADV-VAD) value-added product (VAP) provides profiles of horizontal wind estimates at cloud level, using observations from the Hemispherical Sky Range Height Indicator (HS-RHI) scan strategy of the Ka-Band Scanning ARM Cloud Radar (KASACR). The VAD technique was historically used to retrieve wind field properties using weather radars. SACR-ADV-VAD…

  • An Update of WACR-ARSCL: Evaluation VAP Data Available

    New data sets from the 95 GHz W-band ARM Cloud Radar-Active Remote Sensing of Clouds (WACR-ARSCL) are now available for download as an evaluation value-added product (VAP) for the ARM Mobile Facility (AMF) deployments in Hyytiälä, Finland, from February through September 2014, and Manacapuru, Brazil, from January through December 2014. Evaluation data have been previously…

  • New Best Estimate Data Available for WACR-ARSCL

    New data from the 95 GHz W-band ARM Cloud Radar-Active Remote Sensing of Clouds (WACR-ARSCL) value-added product (VAP) (Kollias and Miller, 2007) are now available in the ARM Data Archive. In addition to the WACR data, this VAP uses observations from the micropulse lidar and ceilometer to produce cloud boundaries and time-height profiles of cloud…
