Data Announcements

A new data product—the Cloud Type Classification (CLDTYPE) value-added product (VAP)—provides an automated cloud type classification based on macrophysical quantities derived from vertically pointing lidar and radar.

The Merged RWP-WACR-ARSCL Cloud Mask and Cloud Type data for the GoAmazon2014/15 field campaign has been released for the year 2014 to 2015.

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 [...]

Level 2 (c2/s2) data for the Data Quality Assessment for ARM Radiation Data (QCRAD) value-added product (VAP) have now been processed at all Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility fixed sites through summer 2017. These sites include the Southern Great Plains central and extended [...]

The Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) ARM Symbiotic Simulation and Observation (LASSO) team recently made available a supplement to the Alpha 2 set of data bundles, adding five case dates from spring and summer 2015. The LASSO data product consists of data bundles combining LES input and output, [...]

Large-scale forcing data developed from a constrained variational analysis approach are now available for the Green Ocean Amazon (GoAmazon2014/15) field campaign at Manaus, Brazil, for the years 2014 and 2015. This value-added product (VAP) includes both the large-scale forcing terms and the [...]

Two more years of data have been processed for the Quality Controlled Eddy Correlation (QCECOR) value-added product (VAP). This VAP provides improved surface turbulence flux measurements to the ARM user community. Data now extend from 2003 to October 2017 for all systems at the Southern Great [...]

Evaluation data for the Ka-Band Scanning ARM Cloud Radar (KASACR) Data Quality Masks are now available from the Aerosol and Cloud Experiments in the Eastern North Atlantic (ACE-ENA) field campaign conducted in June and July 2017. The specific dates covered in this data set are June 18 through July [...]

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 [...]
