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 physical retrieval methodology and bias correction that provides improved retrievals over the standard statistical coefficient method.
The retrievals are available from two locations on Ascension Island during LASIC: the main ARM Mobile Facility site (data files labeled M1) and a supplementary deployment at the airport (data files labeled S1).
More information on MWRRET is available at the VAP web page. To access these data, log in to the ARM Data Center. (Go here to create an account to download the data.)
