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

    INTERPSONDE potential temperature output profiles are shown for November 18, 2012, during the Two-Column Aerosol Project (TCAP). 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,…

  • WACR-ARSCL Evaluation Data Available for MARCUS Field Campaign

    From top to bottom, these images from the MARCUS WACR-ARSCL VAP show best-estimate reflectivity, non-ship-corrected mean Doppler velocity, and ship-corrected mean Doppler velocity for November 28, 2017. 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…

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

    The example plot shown here is from a merged RWP-WACR-ARSCL data set. Key: a) WACR reflectivity; b) RWP reflectivity; c) new RWP-WACR-ARSCL cloud mask; d) cloud-type classification; e) microwave radiometer (MWR) retrieved liquid water path (blue), present weather detector (PWD) rain rate (black), and tipping bucket rain rate (red). The black dots in panels (a,…

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

    Plots from the WACR-ARSCL value-added product show reflectivity best estimate (top) and mean Doppler velocity (bottom) as captured February 22, 2017, during the LASIC field campaign on Ascension Island. 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…

  • New WACR Radar Data Available for AWARE Campaign

    Best estimate reflectivity data from the WACR-ARSCL value-added product are shown here for the AWARE field campaign on January 3, 2016. 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.…

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

    A data plot example is shown here from Hyytiälä, Finland, for July 1, 2014. 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…

  • New Best Estimate Data Available for WACR-ARSCL

    A data plot from the WACR-ARSCL Reflectivity Best Estimate from Graciosa Island, Azores, is shown for June 27, 2009. 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,…

  • 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…
