A Three-Year Cloud Climatology for the Southern Great Plains Site

Marchand, R.T. (a), Ackerman, T.P. (a), and Clothiaux, E.E. (b), Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (a), Pennsylvania State University (b)
Eleventh Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Science Team Meeting

In 1999 we presented a poster on radar-derived macrophyscial cloud statistics for the ARM SGP site for the two years 1997 and 1998. This year we extend those results with additional data from 1999. In addition to previous statistics, such as monthly and seasonal values of cloud occurrence, cloud fraction, cloud autocorrelations, and cloud overlap statistics. We also present data on the correlation of some of these macrophysical properties with cloud microphysical data, also derived, in part, from radar data.

Note: This is the poster abstract presented at the meeting; an extended version was not provided by the author(s).
