  • WACR-ARSCL Evaluation Data Available for MARCUS Field Campaign

    A value-added product (VAP) that combines observations from the marine version of the 95 GHz W-Band ARM Cloud Radar (WACR) and other ARM mobile instruments now provides datastreams from the Measurements of Aerosols, Radiation, and Clouds over the Southern Ocean (MARCUS) field campaign. Evaluation data for the WACR-Active Remote Sensing of Clouds (WACR-ARSCL) VAP are…

  • Merged Multisensor Cloud-Precipitation Mask and Cloud Type Data Now Available for GoAmazon2014/15

    A newly available ARM principal investigator product can be used by scientists to better characterize cloud and precipitation profiles of all conditions, including during heavy precipitation from storms, as well as to validate model simulations. The Merged RWP-WACR-ARSCL Cloud Mask and Cloud Type data set for the GoAmazon2014/15 field campaign has been released for the years…

  • ARM Cloud Radar-Remote Sensing Evaluation Data Available for LASIC Campaign

    Evaluation data for the W-Band ARM Cloud Radar-Active Remote Sensing of Clouds (WACR-ARSCL) value-added product are now available for the ARM Mobile Facility deployment to Ascension Island for the Layered Atlantic Smoke Interactions with Clouds (LASIC) field campaign. Data from the South Atlantic Ocean field campaign are available from October 2016 to February 2017. WACR-ARSCL…

  • New WACR Radar Data Available for AWARE Campaign

    The W-band ARM Cloud Radar-Active Remotely Sensed Cloud Locations (WACR-ARSCL) provides cloud boundaries and best-estimate time-height fields of radar moments. WACR observations are corrected for velocity aliasing, and then significant detection masks are produced. The corrected WACR measurements are combined with observations from the micropulse lidar, ceilometer, soundings, rain gauge, and microwave radiometer, low-level clutter…

  • 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…

  • Vertical Air Motion Profiles Available Through New Value-Added Product

    The Vertical Air Motion during Large-Scale Stratiform Rain (VERVELSR) value-added product (VAP) uses the unique properties of a 95-GHz radar Doppler velocity spectra to produce vertical profiles of air motion during low-to-moderate (1–20 mm/hr) rainfall events. It is designed to run at ARM sites that include a W-band ARM cloud radar (WACR) radar with spectra…

  • Black Forest, Germany, WACR-ARSCL Evaluation Products Now Available

    Observations from the 95 GHz W-band ARM Cloud Radar (WACR), Micropulse Lidar, and ceilometer have been combined using the new WACR-Active Remote Sensing of Clouds (WACR-ARSCL) value-added process (VAP) (Kollias and Miller, 2007) to produce cloud boundaries and time-height profiles of cloud location, radar moments, and linear depolarization ratio fields for the ARM Mobile Facility…
