Abstract

This data set has been derived from various ARM and external data sources with the main aim of providing modelers easy access to quality controlled data for model evaluation. The data set contains highly aggregated (in time) data from a number of sources at the tropical ARM sites at Manus and Nauru. It spans the years of 1999 and 2000. The data set contains information on downward surface radiation; surface meteorology, including precipitation; atmospheric water vapor and cloud liquid water content; hydrometeor cover as a function of height; and cloud cover, cloud optical thickness and cloud top pressure information provided by the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP).

The ARM Best Estimate Station-based Surface (ARMBESTNS) Data set

Dataset Qi, Tang ; Xie, Shaocheng

The ARM Best Estimate Station-based Surface (ARMBESTNS) data set merges together key surface measurements from the Southern Great Plains (SGP) sites. It is a twin data product of the ARM Best Estimate 2-dimensional Gridded Surface (ARMBE2DGRID) data set. Unlike the 2DGRID data set, the STNS data are reported at the original site locations and show the original information, except for the interpolation over time. Therefore, users have the flexibility to process the data with the approach more suitable for their applications.

ARM Diagnostics for Climate Model Evaluation

Dataset Zhang, Chengzhu ; Xie, Shaocheng

A Python-based diagnostics package is currently being developed by the ARM Infrastructure Team to facilitate the use of long-term high-frequency measurements from the ARM program in evaluating the regional climate simulation of clouds, radiation, and precipitation. This diagnostics package computes climatological means of targeted climate model simulation and generates tables and plots for comparing the model simulation with ARM observational data. The CMIP model data sets are also included in the package to enable model inter-comparison. The ARM observational data constitute the core content of the diagnostics package. These data products include two types of data sets: 1. Observational data:more »« less
