The U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) User Facility’s Thermodynamic Cloud Phase (THERMOCLDPHASE) Value-Added Product (VAP) provides vertically resolved thermodynamic cloud phase classifications (Zhang and Levin 2024). This VAP applies the multi-sensor methodology introduced by Shupe (2007) to identify cloud phase at the pixel level as liquid, drizzle, liquid + drizzle, rain, ice, snow, or mixed-phase. In addition, the VAP determines the overall cloud layer phase—classified as liquid, mixed-phase, or ice—based on the fraction of ice-containing pixels within the entire layer.
