Data Announcements

The Aerosol Optical Properties (AOP) value-added product (VAP) is now available, featuring fully corrected aerosol scattering and absorption measurements from all ARM Aerosol Observing System (AOS) deployments within the past two years. The AOP 1-minute VAP provides 60-second averages of a fully [...]

The latest version of the Python-ARM Radar Toolkit (Py-ART), an open-source architecture for interacting with radar data in the Python programming language, was recently released. Py-ART 1.9.0 – Picasso is the first named release aligned with the five-year Py-ART development road map. It [...]

Data sets for the years 2004 to 2010 for ARM Best Estimate 2-dimensional (2D) Gridded Surface (ARMBE2DGRID) and ARM Best Estimate Station-based Surface (ARMBESTNS) are available in the ARM Data Center. The primary goal of these two data sets is to provide 2D spatial data of important surface [...]

The Microwave Radiometer Retrievals (MWRRET) value-added product (VAP) has now been processed for the full Layered Atlantic Smoke Interactions with Clouds (LASIC) field campaign. This VAP gathers column precipitable water vapor and liquid water path from the 2-channel microwave radiometers using a [...]

Two value-added products (VAPs)—Data Quality Assessment for ARM Radiation Data (QCRAD) and Radiative Flux Analysis (RADFLUX)—are now running at the new extended facilities at the ARM Climate Research Facility’s Southern Great Plains (SGP) atmospheric observatory. QCRAD is the [...]

Data for the years 2004 to 2015 are now available for version 2 of the continuous large-scale forcing value-added product (VAP), known as VARANAL, from the Southern Great Plains (SGP) atmospheric observatory. This product includes both the large-scale forcing terms and the evaluation fields, which [...]

Updated November 2017: Data are now available for the Southern Great Plains atmospheric observatory for the year 2015. The data sets are in netCDF format. Updated February 2017: Data are now available for the Southern Great Plains atmospheric observatory for the years 2013 and [...]

Created specifically for climate modelers for use in the evaluation of global climate models, the ARM Best Estimate (ARMBE) value-added product (VAP) has been updated and extended to include Southern Great Plains data for all of 2016. It comprises the ARMBE Atmospheric Measurements (ARMBE-ATM), [...]

Data sets for ARM Best Estimate 2-dimensional Gridded Surface (ARMBE2DGRID) and ARM Best Estimate Station-based Surface (ARMBESTNS) are available now for year 2015. The primary goal of these two data sets is to provide 2D spatial data of important surface variables to facilitate studies on [...]

A new version of the Python-ARM Radar Toolkit (Py-ART) is available. Py-ART is an open-source software package that helps read, process, and visualize weather radar data. This is the ninth version of Py-ART since it became open source in 2013, meaning anyone can obtain the source code or propose a [...]
