The U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility, the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD), and the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) collaborated in deploying a variety of ground instrumentation to Macquarie Island between March 2016 and March 2018. Macquarie Island is located at 54.5° S, 158.9° E and is well situated for studying clouds over the Southern Ocean. The primary objective of the March 2016 to March 2018 deployment, hereafter the Macquarie Island Cloud and Radiation Experiment (MICRE), was to collect observations of surface radiation, cloud, precipitation, and aerosol properties. This report describes the instruments deployed and data sets collected, along with a summary of key data quality issues and information on some value-added products that are being developed to assist scientists in using the data.
