2015 ARM Best Estimate 2D Data Sets Available
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 precipitation, clouds, and radiation, for example, which require high spatial…

SACR ADVance Quasi-Vertical Profile Evaluation Product Released
The Scanning ARM Cloud Radar ADVance Quasi-Vertical Profile (SACR-ADV-QVP) provides a quasi-vertical representation of azimuthal-averaged polarimetric variables such as differential reflectivity, specific differential phase and correlation coefficient, and linear depolarization ratio to reveal important signatures in ice and mixed-phase clouds. SACR-ADV-QVPs are produced using a sequence of plan-position-indicator (PPI) scans. The second-generation SACR (SACR2) is…

Multi-Angle Snowflake Camera Value-Added Product Now Available
The Multi-Angle Snowflake Camera (MASC) instrument provides high-resolution multi-angle imaging of hydrometeors in free fall with simultaneous measurement of fall speed. The MASC consists of three cameras, separated by 36 degrees, each pointing at an identical focal point approximately 10 centimeters away within a 20-centimeter wide ring through which hydrometeors fall. Located immediately above each…

Two New Data Products Available from the Radar Wind Profiler
The radar wind profiler (RWP) records the full Doppler spectrum in a wind mode and a precipitation mode. The data from the wind mode are used to calculate the first three moments of the Doppler spectrum (reflectivity, mean Doppler velocity, and spectrum width) with the mean Doppler velocity further used to retrieve boundary-layer winds. The…
