    The images show ARMBEATM 2-meter temperature (left, unit: K) and 10-meter zonal wind (right, unit: m/s) for ARM’s North Slope of Alaska (NSA) atmospheric observatory in 2017. The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility provides tailored datastreams known as ARM Best Estimate (ARMBE) data products for use in the evaluation of global earth system models. Two…

  • 2016 Southern Great Plains Data Added to ARM Best Estimate VAP

    ARM Best Estimate value-added product data are available now for all of 2016 from the Southern Great Plains observatory. 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…

  • New ARM Best Estimate Land Product Contains Critical Soil Quantities for Describing Land Properties

    Soil moisture at the SGP Central Facility site for 1998, mean over five EBBR sensors, measured at 5 centimeters underground. The ARM Best Estimate: Land (ARMBELAND) value-added prduct (VAP) is a subset of the ARM Best Estimate (ARMBE) products designed to support community land-atmospheric research and land model developments. It contains several critical soil quantities…

  • Second Version of Long-Term Climate Modeling Best Estimate Data Released

    Version 2 of the Climate Modeling Best Estimate includes the data source information for cloud fraction, as depicted in this data plot. With major improvements in the cloud fraction, cloud liquid water path (LWP), precipitable water vapor (PWV), and surface radiative fluxes, a new version of the “Climate Modeling Best Estimate” (CMBE) is now available…
