  • Microwave Radiometer Retrieval Product Processed for SGP Central Facility

    This Microwave Radiometer Retrievals (MWRRET) quicklook image provides information from the Southern Great Plains Central Facility on August 10, 2019. The image shows, from top to bottom, observed brightness temperatures at 23.8 GHz (blue) and 31.4 GHz (red); retrieved precipitable water vapor from the physical method (blue) and statistical method (green); and retrieved liquid water…

  • Ka-Band ARM Zenith Radar Product Resumes for 2 Sites

    This set of plots illustrates the KAZRARSCL product. From top to bottom are time-versus-height plots of cloud boundaries, best-estimate hydrometeor reflectivity, and dealiased mean Doppler velocity for a sample date at Oliktok Point, Alaska. The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility has resumed production of the Ka-Band ARM Zenith Radar Active Remote Sensing of CLouds…

  • New, Improved Algorithm for Retrieving Liquid Water Path Now Available at the ARM Data Archive

    The MWRRET product uses an improved retrieval technique and a method to identify and remove biases from the data to greatly improve the retrieved LWP (blue). It also performs so-called physical retrievals at each radiosonde launch time (black dots)—physical retrievals are the best possible retrieval that can be performed. The total amount of liquid water…
